# Travel resources

Before you leave

## Road trips

Keep books, snacks and a few well-timed stops within reach. The best road-trip plan has enough structure to prevent chaos and enough space for an unexpected detour.

## Family camping checklist

Shelter, warm layers, lighting, simple food and a dry place for tomorrow's clothes are the essentials. Give each child a small job and a bag they can manage themselves.

## Travelling with teenage boys

Let older boys own part of the itinerary. A destination becomes more interesting when they can choose an activity, navigate a leg of the trip or find the next meal.
