There’s not much planning involved. On the rare occasion when we do hit the road to a destination other than New England, the extent of the planning is entering a starting point and destination on Google Maps or some such app, and deciding which route makes the most sense. Most times we don’t even make lodging reservations ahead of time, though we probably would consider doing that if we happen to be traveling during a holiday period. And we might take note of a few points of interest along the way.
Since we aren’t currently driving an electric vehicle, there’s no plotting when and where to refuel. And road trips are usually when we fall off the wagon of healthy eating, unless we come across a Chipotle.
Our main objective is to get to where we want to go. There might be a bit more leeway for balls of twine and such on the return trip.
