This summer, you opted for the car to go to your holiday resort, but you dread this step, as much as the tourist ... To make this trip as pleasant as possible, here are some tips.
1. Locate the route before departure
Even if your GPS is a state-of-the-art or super-efficient model, knowing where you are going to go, how long it will last allows you to mentally prepare for this summer.
2. Respect the two-hour rules
If we are harshly harassed by the fact that we have to take breaks every two hours, it is necessary. Whether you are a sole driver or not, they are absolutely essential for everyone's well-being and safety. Stop and drink cool water will allow you to take stock of your state of fatigue, to know whether to change drivers, to divide your efforts. This is essential for the atmosphere of the trip to remain in good shape.
3. Avoid sugar
Long journeys in the car are often due to your energy, mood, and stomach, and intestines. In case of fatigue, even if the body's first instinct would be to throw yourself on very sweet treats, do nothing! The sugar will only give you a temporary boost and will only make your petite shape worse. Plus, if it's eaten in fruit form, it's even worse because the fructose will make you bloat, which is really not the footing when you have to travel sitting in a small, confined space. Ban orange juice and apple juice; they contain too much sugar and cause too much acidity. Other foods should be avoided for a peaceful journey and intestines: sweets, chocolate and candies, dairy products, beer, sodas, red meats, legumes, and starches (pasta, bread, potatoes ...) which are also carbohydrates, it should be remembered. Will be more chicken and fish, eggs, rice (even if it contains carbohydrates), cucumbers, ham, mayonnaise for sauces. And for treats, wait until you arrive or eat a square or two of chocolate without a cookie.
4. Bring warm clothes
Ok, it's summer, and where you go it is scorching. But when the time spent in the car is important, that fatigue sets in, a feeling of cold could invade you while the temperature is pleasant in the passenger compartment. This feeling is even more important when traveling at night! In this case, push until you put on socks, closed shoes, a warm sweater and take a small blanket for the passengers. You will see, you will be able to rest better.
5. To wash yourself
Not being able to wash properly is also part of the discomfort of traveling by car. Also, to refresh yourself without using the sinks at gas stations (which is annoying and even sometimes a little disgusting when you see the state of certain amenities), to allow you to feel better, provide organic cleansing make-up removing wipes, if possible. The whole family or your traveling partner can use them, whether for the face, hands, underarms ...
For teeth, there is chewing gum in pharmacies that act as toothpaste. Admittedly, they are not a substitute for a good brushing but are always welcome to freshen your breath and clean up most of what is between your teeth. Throw it away quickly. If you really can't do without brushing, pack a travel brush with a small water bottle in your car door.
Last advice: take something to listen to music on your own so as not to disturb others, take a book with a small e-reader so as not to disturb the driver, put everything you are going to need last in your luggage so as not to have everything go back, go to the bathroom even if you don't need to go, drink water, fresh if possible, to wake up instead of drinking energy drinks.
Rental car is also an excellent option for traveling. You can rent a car in Islamabad from Carlay Car Rental. It is a well-known car rental firm.
