Info for perfect car holiday

To get stuck in the middle of the field in the mud of country road toward grandparents after a summer rain is a great feeling, surpassed only by the realization that you remained without brakes while descend a winding road from Great Smoky Mountains with a car full of five people.

 
Even though summer enters on its second part the holiday period is just getting started, many people taking their annual leave only the beginning of August. Relying on the idea that it’s better to be ready for anything, even for vacation, I prepared a few tips before you hit the road, with your personal car.

The technical condition of the car – This includes checking the oil level, cooling liquid, lights front and rear, braking system, even windshield fluid.
First aid kit – Check before departure if your first aid kit has everything it needs. Supplement the kit with what it lacks, and in the remaining space free put useful pills or more batting. Do not leave before being sure that first aid kit is within warranty period and safety package is complete (triangle, reflecting jacket, fire extinguisher).
Because it is summer and sun rays are harmful, make sure you have lotions and creams with high protection factor, wear sunglasses and cover your head with hats, caps or scarves.
Very important is hydration. Take at least 2 liters of water for the road, some fruit and a few sandwiches.
