You know, me and my partner always keep a part of our money aside for “surprise” entertainment. It’s so important not to kill spontaneity for the lack of money!!!

Me and my partner recently did a big road trip from Miami to San Francisco in a relatively small converted van. It was good to experience sharing such a small space with someone but at times it was a little bit frustrating when we were tripping over each other and having to move things around just to get outside so if you have a family I would definitely second the plan to get a larger vehicle. We also had the same plan as you, where we would decide on somewhere to aim for but not necessarily what we would do once we got there. We ended up finding lots of nice little spots to visit that we never planned to visit.

We take a few family road trips every year. It is a great way to spend time together. They only challenge is getting the kids to put down their tablets. As you said, they do make it more enjoyable, but sometimes I just want them to look out the window and enjoy the scenery.

Oh man I would love to take an epic road trip in an RV like you did. I plan on buying one in the future but it looks like you rented yours out. That might be a great idea.

Thanks for the great tips too!
