Before
there were no-gas, 100% electric cars on the road there was a family
that went by the name of the Jetsons. Maybe you've heard of them!
If
you have, you'll probably remember that most of us were about Elroy's
age when we first saw their futuristic vehicle take flight. Up until we
were adolescents like Judy, I'm sure we believed that their car was
real. If your parents were anything like George and Jane, every trip was
rushed and despite their best efforts, always just a bit behind
schedule.
While we're not close to having consumer production
flying cars, we are edging closer to semi-autonomous vehicles with
manufacturer designers working hard to take technology to the next
level. All of this is incredibly exciting and we find ourselves ready to
rock onto the next big idea. That said, we do want to encourage you to
slow down and enjoy the relaxation that you should be enjoying on the
road!
Take a look at some tips we pulled together that may entice you to
treat your next road trip a little less like a business engagement and
more like a kickback with an old friend.
Step 1: If you're not driving, get comfy! There's no reason you can't kick off your shoes and put your feet up on the dash.
Step 2: Play your favorite song on full blast. Enjoy the fall air in your hair while you can and sing at the top of your lungs!
Step 3: Make stops along the way. While getting places in a timely manner is
important to travelers, rushing makes you miss things! Stop and smell
the roses...or the pumpkin patch. Whatever you happen to run into
first.
Step 4: Take a deep breath and relax. Half of the battle is getting out to the car and getting onto the road.
