It is a long trip and you need nourishment for your body. Bring snacks like chips, sandwich and bottled water.

3) Bring an MP3 player

Download some music or an audiobook in your mp3 player or smart phone. Spend long hours listening to music or a motivational audiobook. It will make any 6-14 hour travel pass by.

4) Bring your favorite book

You will now have time to read that thick book that you wanted to finish. No disturbances, unless you have your kids always playing and going to the restroom.

5) Download Applications in your game console or smart phone

Be a kid again and play games! It can be addictive one you started. It is also a great way to bond with your children and keep them from being bored and anxious.

6) Make friends while travelling

You might meet other commuters and become instant friends. Take this trip as an opportunity to interact with others. You might end up having a new business partner and even a life partner.
