The average American gets between seven and 18 days of paid vacation time each year, depending on the industry and length of time in the job. With so little time for recreation, relaxation, and exploration, it's essential to make the most out of your vacation. You don't want to spend much time standing in line at the airport or battling seasickness on a cruise. Fortunately, quite a few road trip options give you complete control over your time off. Road tripping doesn't mean giving up luxury, though. You don't have to pile everyone and their luggage into a rattletrap station wagon and schlep off to the closest amusement park. With a bit of planning, you can have a memorable, four-star experience on your luxury road trip.
Make Your Trip a Luxurious Pilgrimage
The first thing you need to decide when planning your luxury road trip is where you want to go. We're talking destinations plural here. A good road trip will include multiple stops to see various sights and enjoy a multitude of experiences. A luxury trip planning agency can help you create an itinerary. What are you interested in doing and seeing on your trip? Do you want to make a foodie pilgrimage, savoring the local cuisine across a stretch of the country? If you're into art and culture, maybe you want to tour the best museums, opera houses, and theaters in a specific region. A trip through the nation's gorgeous national parks will satisfy any nature lover. Choose a trip that matches your hobbies and interests to guarantee enjoyment.
Travel in Comfort and Style
If you're going to spend hours in your car on this vacation, you want to make sure it's as comfortable and luxurious as possible. Consider renting a vehicle: not only will it save your auto from racking up miles, but it also enables you to choose a car with luxury features you may not have and provides the novelty of driving a new vehicle for the duration of your trip. Consider making your road trip in a coupe. Slightly smaller than a sedan, coupe vehicles get excellent gas mileage and handle like a dream. Make sure to choose a luxury model with all the extras: GPS, satellite radio, mobile device compatibility, warmed and cooled seats, etc.
Stay In Fascinating Lodging
Don't make the mistake of staying in bland chain hotels on your road trip. This country is full of fascinating hotels, lodges, and beds-and-breakfast. You can find lodgings with rich ties to history, quirky pop-culture themes, and even famous hauntings. Whatever your aesthetic or interests, there are unique hotels designed to accommodate them. Staying in these lodgings will increase the joy of your journey.
