    Nine Things You Need in Your Winter Emergency Kit Now

    January 25, 2019 /

    Do you have a winter emergency kit? Have you considered what would happen if you got stranded in a snowstorm or other wintery weather disaster? Here’s hoping you never are in that situation, but what if you were? Weather related weirdness is the rule rather than the exception in so many areas of the world right now. So, it makes sense to be prepared for anything that comes your way. It’s common sense when traveling during the harsh winter months, whether it be just across town or several miles or hundred miles away to always keep an Emergency Kit in your vehicle. There are dozens of ways to encounter problems and…

    Buying Snow Tires – What You Need to Know

    January 15, 2018 /

    Buying snow tires is something I have debated and put off for a couple of winter seasons now. Last year I got new all-season tires in the spring and assumed they’d get me through the winter. It wasn’t a super snowy year, but there were a few challenging winter road trips, especially on our annual trip to Vermont. This year with all the snow in the forecast, and the number of ski road trips we take, I knew I needed them so I started shopping months ago. I had so many questions initially. Are they worth the money? What kind should I buy? Which snow tires are best with my…

    Road Trip Safety On and Off The Road #travel

    July 21, 2016 /

    Road trip safety is something that we can all use a refresher course on. It’s so easy to become complacent on the road. Finding a rest stop becomes the paramount objective when exits become sparse, and we tend to forget dangers are literally everywhere. It’s important to remember that road trip safety is as much a part of travel as remembering to be safe abroad. Keys to Road Trip Safety Safety on the road begins with planning, continues with planning, and ends with planning. Seriously, though. Road trip safety requires thought and vigilance, just like any other form of safety or travel. We road trippers too often abandon that because we’re…

    Buying Tires – What do You Need to Know?

    May 25, 2016 /

    Buying tires involves more than just going out and picking the first thing you see. It’s actually quite involved as I found out recently. From getting the right size to picking the tread to finding a good price, buying tires requires some forethought to make sure you get the right tires for your vehicle, your area of the world, and your driving conditions. Bald Tires are Not Safe My tires have been bald for quite some time. Last Christmas, right before we left for Miami and a winter cruise, the regular service person I deal with warned me I needed new tires. Where to Start? Frankly, I had no real idea…

    6 Classes to Consider When You Buy an RV

    February 24, 2016 /

    These days road tripping is more popular than ever. If you don’t really want to do the sleep in a tent on the ground kind of camping that many are comfortable with, then you might give some though to buying or renting an RV. There are several things to take into consideration when you buy an RV. RVs come in several varieties and sizes, have different features, and are designed for different things. Some of these recreational vehicles are equipped with everything you need to take your family on the road and live for weeks inside them. Others are not much bigger than a van.  Before you get started,  you…
