I'm planning a road trip. What should I take into consideration when mapping out my route?

1. You should take into account the distances between major cities, the type of terrain and the features of the landscape.
2. Make sure to determine the expected duration of the trip and plan for stops at rest areas, hotels and tourist attractions that you may have time for.
3. Consider the costs of petrol, toll roads and other transportation costs.
4. Check the local rules and regulations as you will be crossing state boundaries.
5. Do your research to ensure that you are aware of any weather-related hazards and plan for any contingencies.
6. Lastly, pack a first aid kit, a phone charger and snacks to keep you going during the long stretches of your journey.
