• Audio books- These can be rented from your local library and will help make the hours pass by more quickly.
• An item that reminds you of the comfort of home- If you have a favorite blanket, pillow, or stuffed animal, bring it along to remind yourself you won’t be on the road forever.
• Spare keys- Avoid lockouts by putting these in your pocket or inside an item that always exits the car with you when you get out.
• Snacks- Choose easy finger foods, such as grapes or cheese cubes, which do not require you to divert your attention from the road to eat them.
• A garbage bag- You will collect up more trash in your car than you think!
• Spare toilet paper- It’s best to take a few squares of it into those gas station restrooms as a backup plan, as you can never guarantee they will be fully stocked.
• A first-aid kit.  Minor cuts can happen at the most unexpected times.
• Baby wipes- Disposable wipes can clean stained clothes, wipe off your hands after you fill up your gas tank, and provide a cleansing alternative when no shower is available.
