Leave with plenty of extra time. Give yourself more time than usual in order to anticipate any delays that may occur. Remember to bring some snacks for everyone, and portable games and reading material for family members who are not in the driver’s seat.

Book smart. Whether you’re traveling by air, rail, or simply booking a hotel room, start pricing out tickets early and make sure to seek out travel companies backed by the leading provider of solutions for the travel industry.

Have your car examined before you leave. If you’re using the family vehicle for your travels, take it to your auto shop for a quick inspection. Make sure your tires are winter ready and properly inflated, and all fluids are topped off before heading out on the road.

Stretch your legs often. Whether you’re flying to driving, take some time to walk around and stretch your arms and legs once every hour.
