The weather is warming up and school is out which means it is time to get out on the road for a family vacation. Here at Bertera our priorities are the satisfaction and safety of your family. Whether your trip takes just a few hours or even days make sure to have a look at these five essential items and tips.
1. Sunscreen
Whether you are headed to the beach or to a cookout one essential item is Sunscreen. Skin protection is not something that should be ignored. If sunscreen is not applied when needed while in direct sunlight you could be risking serious skin damage. Keep any parts of your body that will be directly in contact with sunlight well taken care of when applying sunscreen.
2. Extra batteries
No one wants to miss a moment of a family vacation. Be sure to pack extra batteries for any electronics you may bring along. Let us not forget about chargers either. You can also buy a universal battery which can be hooked up to any USB charging products for charging on the go.
3. Music
Make sure you bring music for the car ride, whether it’s from your phone, a CD, or even an 8-track. There is no better cure to a silent, awkward, or boring ride than some good music. Get working on your vacation playlist now!
4. Snacks
Everyone can get a little antsy when sitting in a vehicle for a trip. It is always a good idea to bring small meals or snacks on your trip. There are many ways to cut costs as well. Prepare your food and keep it stored properly. Bringing your own snacks on a trip can really cut the costs significantly. Rather than stopping at a fast food restaurant consider packing sandwiches or fruit salads for everyone to enjoy.
5. Service your vehicle
Do not forget to make sure your vehicle has been serviced before any long trips. Be sure to always double check your fluid levels before taking a trip to make sure your vehicle is in proper shape before getting on the road. When a tire goes flat it can really bum people out, be sure to always have your tires and pressure checked. Bringing along a type of pump or fix a flat solution is never a bad idea either. If these seem like too much before getting on the road look no further because Bertera can service your vehicle for an excellent driving experience.
