Let's face it: being in a car for +2 hours absolutely sucks. Depending on your car and how many people you're traveling, you could be squished like a bug. Whatever the conditions, you're almost always bored, cramped, and uncomfortable. Here are a few ways you can help that -
1) Prepare! Bring books, fully charge your iPod, rest your texting thumbs, and make sure you pack enough sweets to keep you going for however long your trip is (I suggest one small candy per thirty minutes, but your metabolism may rush in the car.)
2) Wear comfy clothes. Nobody wants to go through a cross country drive in a hoop skirt. TRUST ME.
3) Every thirty minutes wiggle around. Move your legs, your butt, your back, and change general position.
4) Maybe take a nap. To be honest, it helps the time pass by. Turn on some music and drift away :)
5) Clean up along the way. Bring along a trash bag and pack everything neatly. It maximizes your space and keeps your car nice and neat.
6) Driver's Tip: if you're going to be the driver and you're the only one in the car pack everything close to you. No dozing! Eat something every once in a while. Grapes, small candies, and caffeinated soda helps with the staying awake part. If there are other passengers, have them help you out!
Hope this helps!
