It’s summer 2020! And for many of you, this is the time to start taking big road trips with family while you can.

While we admire you adventurous spirit, we must jump in to say there are a couple of things you should keep in mind before you hit the road.

Here are our Summer 2020 Road Trip Essentials.

Stock Up!

Prepare everything you need beforehand so you can avoid shopping at stores as much as possible.

This means foods, snacks, beverages, and any other type of refreshments.

Along with, of course, another type of essential you’re going to need…

Keep it Clean

Hand sanitizer.

Please bring lots and lots of hand sanitizer. In fact, bring a giant bottle of it with you.

While you’re at it, bring a box of disposable gloves, disposable masks that cover you properly for when you exit your car.

Plus: Bring some disinfectant sprays and cloths to clean surfaces in and out of your car.

It never hurts to be extra clean!

Lodging

With that out of the way, you can start planning out your stops along this trip.

Whether it’s just a trip upstate or a cross-country extravaganza, we recommend booking your AirBnb ahead of time.

Do some research on the places you’re stopping at and their infection rates.

And as always, stay clean and sanitized.

Now hit the road! But if you need any help along the way, visit thesocialsetters.com/startplanning to help you with your great American road trip.
