Road Trip With Eight Comforts Of Home

ROAD TRIPS are synonymous with summer adventure fueled by nostalgia for endless highways and winding roads, a yearning for open windows, and your favorite cassette music permeating the air. But road tripping isn’t entirely about making it from A to B; it’s truly about the voyage—which requires a little prep, of course.
