I am what you would call a seasoned business traveler. At one time, I traveled 75% of the time for my job as a corporate trainer. I couldn’t tell you all of the names of the cities I’ve been to, the airports I’ve flown out of, the cities I’ve driven through, or even the people who I traveled with-they’ve blurred together.

Whether you’re traveling by plane, train, boat, car, or bike, having a crier on-board just stinks – regardless of their age. Still, I packed up my two kids, for a sixteen and a half hour car ride to Maine last summer and a twelve-hour car ride to The Outer Banks in North Carolina, just two weeks ago. We’re mostly focusing on drivers here, but there are tips for all sorts of travelers. Here’s how this mother kept everyone happy. Makes Sure Seats Are Safe and Comfy
