Fall road trips: 10 tips for planning the perfect car-based getaway
Apparently Monday has come and gone so Tuesday here we are and ready for Road Trip Trick numero FOUR!
4. Download offline maps to keep navigation going
Depending on where the road takes you, some remote stretches of highway or backroads may not have cell phone service. One way to keep navigation going is by downloading offline maps in advance.
The Google Maps app allows users to download offline maps by drawing a border around the area where maps are needed. Apple Maps and Waze will continue offering turn-by-turn guidance even away from cell service, as long as the route was started with an internet connection.
Thanks to the Orlando Sentinel for this story!

Drumroll pleaseeeeeeeeeeee
It's F R I D A Y!!!!!!!!!!!
...and here we are with day THREE of our Fall Road Trip Tips!
3. Keep emergency supplies handy, just in case
When embarking on a multi-day adventure on the road, it’s worth coming prepared with supplies in case of an emergency. Jumper cables, a first-aid kit, basic tools, snacks, extra water, blankets, rain gear and flashlights are among items that should be in a car’s kit.
Make sure to know how to change a tire in case of a flat. Ensure that the spare tire is properly inflated and that all tools, such as a lug wrench and scissor jack, are accounted for.
Consider a subscription to an emergency roadside service such as AAA. Many insurers will also offer roadside assistance as an add-on option, as will some auto manufacturers.
Read the whole story here! https://www.orlandosentinel.com/travel/os-tr-tips-planning-perfect-fall-road-trip-20201008-d7aiogowxzfhln7onu75xtd7w4-list.html?fbclid=IwAR29G2AV6W3C9mgYdMKu7BGliA-jwcvxv5Q5nc_wzj9TF4P2zZjNspvXXv4
Road Trip Tip day numero DOS!
2. Find the best gas prices on the road
Retail gas prices have dipped in 2020 throughout the country, reaching a national average of around $1.87 per gallon at the height of stay-home orders in late April and May, according to investment research platform YCharts.
Prices have since rebounded slightly, hovering around an average of $2.26 per gallon nationwide in early October. That’s still an improvement compared with this time last year when prices averaged almost 50 cents more per gallon.
Find the best prices on the go by using an app such as GasBuddy, which allows users to submit the latest gas prices to the platform. Waze also offers users gas price information.
FALL ROAD TRIPS: Tips for the perfect getaway by car!
1. Take care of routine maintenance before the trip
Every car manual should include a routine maintenance schedule detailing intervals for oil changes, spark plugs, transmission fluid, air filters and more. Look at the odometer reading and take care of all recommended maintenance items as mileage intervals approach.
Head to a trusted mechanic or dealer for an inspection before setting out on a trip that could mean hundreds of miles on the road. AAA offers a list of recommended auto repair shops that meet quality standards set by the club.
Don’t forget to top off windshield wiper fluid before heading out, and check other fluid levels while under the hood.
6. Ask the locals for advice
While many hidden gems and side stops can be found by browsing the internet and utilizing smartphone apps, others can only be found by seeking out local wisdom.
Where’s the best place in town to grab barbecue food? Are there any antique stores or boutiques worth checking out? What about hole-in-the-wall bars?
Sometimes, the best bites, shops and experiences can only be unearthed by asking the right people the right questions. Usually, locals are more than willing to share their knowledge.

Fall Road Trips Tricks for a Safe and Smooth Ride
Thank you ORLANDO SENTINEL for this great read!
https://www.orlandosentinel.com/travel/os-tr-tips-planning-perfect-fall-road-trip-20201008-d7aiogowxzfhln7onu75xtd7w4-list.html?fbclid=IwAR2b-kGfCnufWQO9Q_ISOoYjx5Afj2BlwBXyssXDEMOqUDWsRGVtRp_J1Lw
5. Use digital resources to find unique side stops
Just like there are apps for navigation and finding gas prices, there are also digital resources for finding unique, off-the-beaten-path stops.
Roadtrippers aids trip planning by suggesting unique side trips in categories including “attractions and culture,” “outdoors and recreation” and “points of interest.” Historic sites, recreation areas, cemeteries and one-of-a-kind waypoints (like the smallest church in America) pop up while poking around the platform, which also offers mobile apps.
Roadside America offers a similar service, but the mobile app is only available on iPhones and Apple devices.
Many cities, counties and states have visitors bureaus with tourist information available online. Some of them offer mobile apps as well.
What a better way to start your Weekend than to keep planning that upcoming Fall Road Trip?! Here's Tip numero EIGHT!
8. Take plenty of photos along the way
Taking photos on vacation has been something that friends and families have long done — it’s just easier now than ever before. Photos that used to take days or weeks to process on film can now be viewed instantly on digital screens.
Will you bring along a DSLR and tripod to capture fantastic fall foliage? Or will you shoot with the iPhone and post to social media along the way? The choice is yours to make, but capturing happy snaps on the journey will help in remembering the ride for years to come.

7. Know local COVID-19 restrictions for destinations
While some states have effectively slowed the spread of COVID-19, others are popping up as hotspots and should be avoided on a leisure trip. Other cities and states might be OK to visit but have local restrictions on restaurants and bars, plus mask mandates.
AAA offers an interactive map showing states that have effectively reopened, which ones have mask mandates and which ones have no travel restrictions at all. The map also points out citywide and countywide restrictions and rules, as well as COVID-19 cases by state and county.
