work
--
don’t
plan to
make too many miles that first part
of
the journey. Wear comfortable
clothing and shoes you
can easily drive
in.
Is
your vehicle ready for
a
long trip? If
you keep it
serviced and maintained, it’s ready to
go.
If
it
needs
service, have it done before starting out.
Of
course,
you’ll find experienced and able
