I recently went on a long road trip. I wasn't too worried, though, because I packed everything I needed to make it as stress-free as possible. '
Why not? They used to bother me, but I'm finding that as I get older, they're not so bad.
That's unfortunate. I've come to enjoy taking a train as a frugal alternative to flying or driving. No wear and tear on your car, and you don't have to drive.
