These are clips of a road trip from Kingman, AZ to Oro Valley, AZ in November, 2004. A winter snow had passed through Arizona the week of this trip. So we see Kingman in a blanket and then end up with the Catalina Mountain tops in snow.
Sounds great and there’s no reason why your dreams shouldn’t come to fruition, but there’s a little voice inside your head that won’t be silenced: “What if something happens? What if someone needs me? What if I need someone else?” There’s no need to silence the warrior within; you CAN have your adventure, just make sure you set some communications strategies in place to keep you covered in an emergency like these ones…
Bitten by a Cactus
Ok, so you’re out there on Route 66 giving it some on the highway and suddenly you hear the undeniable call of Nature. You pull over and duck behind the nearest cactus plant to protect your dignity from passing cowboys, but just as you’re readjusting your denims you catch a tender part of your anatomy on a massive spine. Ouch! Those things bite and it’s quite common to get an infection so you can’t take any chances. Luckily, you thought to program your next-door neighbour the nurse’s number into your phone as one of your medical back-up communications strategies. So it’s phone a friend time and she advises you to buy some household glue at your next roadhouse stop as this will prevent the most common infection from cactus spine – cactus dermatitis. Who knew!
Gone With the Wind
You’re about three days into your epic road journey and things are going great (even your cactus bite is healing nicely). You decide to pull into a nice motel and treat yourself to a soft bed and a large steak. As you sign the register and the clerk asks for your credit card, your stomach sinks as the realisation hits that the last time you remember seeing it was when you were using it to flick a giant scorpion off the back seat of the car – and that was three states and 400 windows-wound-down miles back. Just as well you’d set communications strategies in place between your Mum and your bank account and all it takes is one quick call (well ok, it’s your mother; not so quick) and your card is cancelled and there’s $500 wired to the Fedex down the road.
I Do, I Do
You finally made it to Vegas and you’re living it up on the money your Mum wired when, suddenly, in the blink of an eye you glance across the room and fall in love! After a few hours using some of your best-practiced communications strategies for romance, you and the object of your affection are pledging undying love and heading to the Little Chapel of Love for a quickie wedding ceremony overseen by Elvis. Ain’t love grand?
The Honeymoon is Over
Fast-forward three years and two kids later and your little Nevada Rose is definitely beginning to exhibit some thorns. There’s never any time for the two of you and you’re wondering if some of the magic is beginning to fade. But in truth, yours is destined to be a happily-ever-after road trip story and you know it’s worth putting up a fight to save your marriage. So you head off to therapy and as the two of you pour out your hearts, the kindly therapist tells that you really just need to talk and suggests that you put in place some simple communications strategies….
If your are looking for a great holiday full of fun, that won’t cost a fortune then get some mates together and head off on a road trip. Now there are many famous road trips across the world, such as route 66 in America and the great coast road in Australia, but if you want to avoid paying for costly air fares, there are lots of great trips you can make throughout Ireland. A little bit of research and a couple of maps should find you planning an exciting adventure, taking in the sights and sounds that the country has to offer. But before you go, there are a few essentials you are going to need to consider before hitting the road. The first is the car; if you have one you need to make sure that it is ready for to be taken on the trip. Check things like your oil levels and your tyre pressure, and if possible have a service before you go to make sure the car is in tip top condition. If you don’t have a car don’t despair you could always hire one to travel around in. This will add an additional expense onto your trip but should ensure that you have a good car to travel around in. The second thing to consider is car insurance. If you want to share the driving between you and your mates you need to make sure that you are all insured. Some car insurance policies will let you drive other cars if you have your own fully comprehensive policy. But be careful, as not all policies will let you do this and if they do you will probably find that you will only be covered at the third party level and there may be some restrictions about when it applies. It could be that it works out cheaper for a friend to become a named driver on your policy but again you need to be careful that it is still you that is doing the majority of the driving and you should check the terms and conditions in connection. The best thing to do is to talk to your car insurance provider, who should be able to advise you on the best way to meet your motor insurance needs. The third thing is make sure that you travel prepared for any eventuality. Buy breakdown cover before you go as if you need to purchase on the road you could end up paying more. Check to make sure that your boot contains all the things you need for an emergency, like a first aid kit and a high visibility vest. The final thing to do then is to plan your route, fill up with petrol and set off on your own little adventure.
Planning any Road Trip can be so exciting, but instead of the much loved infamous American route 66 road trip, why not try something a bit closer to home. France is such a beautiful country, so why stick To just one Hotel , B&B or Campsite!
The first thing to do is to plan your route. This said, the whole point of a road trip is that you can change your mind about a place and move on rather than stay somewhere you don´t like. So when I say Plan, I mean a rough idea of where you would like to visit and for how long.
Not having a timescale would be everyone’s dream if you are planning a road trip; however most of us normally have a week or two, maybe three weeks for a holiday.
I remember one Road trip we went on and ended up staying the whole week in the same Hotel in the same town as we just fell in love with it and didn´t want to risk moving on to something not as nice. Which is half the fun really, but once you have been on quite a few, you will soon learn the quality you begin to expect from certain areas.
Cost will also play a huge part in which area you will stay, as a general rule, French Hotels and B&B´s tend to get more expensive the Further South you go. So if you are planning two weeks around St.Tropez and Monaco, you could be in for costly holiday.
Choosing your transport also has to be considered. You may use your own Car and caravan. However you may decide to Fly and Hire. Low cost airlines now have cheap flights from most UK airports to most airports in France, and hiring a camper or car is getting easier now you can book everything online when booking your flight.
Booking Cheap Hotels online before you go is by far the cheapest option, (for those of you who are organised), you will pick up great deals, but this will mean you will have less flexibility on moving on if you dislike a place. However this is what road trips are all about, the good, the bad, the really bad and the brilliant, but believe me, you won´t have another holiday like it.
