The Open Road E

ven before #StayAtHome was a thing and travel became tricky, an industry survey showed that 73% of Americans would rather hit the open highway, than they would an airport runway. That number will undoubtedly continue to climb as we seek new adventures beyond our homes, and behind the wheel.

MAKE A PLAN, STAN Road trips can be practical, adventurous and above all, memorable – especially if you prepare well. Most travelers take at least a few weeks to pull details together, including where to go, how to get there, what to bring, where to stay, and how much to spend.

Taking your own vehicle can be more affordable than flying but statistics show that road trippers in 2019 actually took more vacations than alternative travelers, spending an average of $5,000 per year.

To adhere to your budget and schedule, you’ll want to set your GPS, calculate your anticipated gas usage, reserve your accommodations, figure in fees for National Parks or destinations, and be sure to maintain a little cushion for that potential, spontaneous adventure!

START YOUR ENGINES… One of the perks of road travel is the flexibility. No need to worry about your suitcase going over the weight limit, or TSA giving your snacks undue scrutiny. Your car is your castle for the next three to 14 days.

Sure, you’ll want to have plenty of water, but choosing road trip snacks is of the utmost importance. Nothing too messy, nothing too healthy, and plenty to share. A trail mix with a mélange of salty and sweet is always a winner, along with perennial favorites like jerky, candy, and chips.

Not all highways are scenic and eventually boredom is a factor. Download your favorite music, audio books or podcasts ahead of time for those miles that lack a proper signal. Nostalgic travel games for young passengers can still be found at the iconic truck stop, or improvise with some license plate spotting, I Spy, or 20 questions.

A schedule is important, however, make room for the unplanned and necessary detour to see the world’s largest ball of string or the International UFO Museum. After all, you’re collecting life-long memories with each mile covered.

SAFE TRAVELS!

SUMMER BEACH READS W ith so much time spent at home recently, binging entire series, telecommuting to work, and scrolling social media, some of us are starting to feel the burnout of a digital overload. This summer is the perfect time put down the screens and pick up a beach read. This genre typically stays on the lighter side of literature, accessible and entertaining to large audiences. Even if you’re planning more of a staycation this summer, beach reads are a great escape for the mind and can be consumed poolside, on the couch with a cool drink nearby or anywhere you like to unwind. Grab a book, get comfortable and let your mind wander with these stories of humanity, mystery, and truth.

I’LL NEVER TELL – CATHERINE MCKENZIE If you’re in the mood for a classic murder-mystery, look no further. Five estranged siblings reunite at their family-run summer camp after the sudden death of their parents and are tasked with a chilling assignment before they can inherit the fortune left behind: unveil the killer responsible for a camp murder years ago. The catch? It might be one of them. Family tensions boil and loyalties are tested as the siblings question each other and their own recollections of the past.

ITALY IS MY BOYFRIEND– ANNETTE JOSEPH Fans of the movie “Under the Tuscan Sun” will enjoy this travel memoir. The author recounts her journey of discovery through her time spent in Italy throughout 30 years, finding love, a new lease on life, and a feeling of home. Through all her ups and down with the country that has challenged her, comforted her, excited her, and entertained her, Joseph has developed a loving (if sometimes trying) relationship with Italy. Her book details the most life-changing adventures that

led to her finding her dream villa.

THE MAN WHO MISTOOK HIS WIFE FOR A HAT: AND OTHER CLINICAL TALES – OLIVER SACKS Recounting some of the most interesting case studies he’s encountered, neurology professor and physician Oliver Sacks gives readers a glimpse inside the minds of patients with neurological disorders. Published in 1985, the book maintains its level of fascination more than 30 years later with tales of people who are unable to recognize familiar faces, cannot form new memories, and have completely forgotten the concept of objects and space existing to the left side of the body. If you’re worried the subject matter may be too clinical, fear not. Sacks breaks down the complex subject matter into easy digestible parts that dissect different brain functions through humanizing stories.

KEY TO EVERYTHING – VALERIE FRASER LUESSE This coming-of-age story comes from a well-known Southern Living feature writer. A fifteen-year-old boy sets on out a bicycle journey from Savannah, Georgia to Key West, Florida in an attempt to understand his father, just returned from World War II. Along the way, he learns about himself, adulthood, and where he wants to focus the rest of his life. The story is sweet and full of southern charm and faith that gives a classic formula a unique spin.
