  • Keep a good pair of sunglasses available. When the sun visor isn't enough you will need sunglasses that provide ultraviolet protection and do not distort vision.

    Get your car a complete tune up several weeks before you are due to leave on vacation. If any necessary maintenance turns up you will have time to get it taken care of. Tell them you are planning a trip and want everything checked; tires, belts, fluids, etc. Have a comprehensive inspection done. Many conditions do not show up in a cursory checkup. You and your family's lives will depend on this vehicle performing well. Don't take chances or skimp on their safety.
