Since many of us aren’t flying, I’m declaring 2020 the year of the road trip!

I love driving, so that actually suits me just fine. I find it very relaxing to listen to some tunes, open up the windows, and let the wind blow through my hair. I like being able to stop when I need to and travel on my own terms. Plus, I don’t know about you, but I could certainly use a change of scenery right about now!

Since road trips are bound to be the more popular mode of travel for most of us, I thought I’d share some of my favorite road trip essentials. Packing up these things reminds me how exciting and fun even a short trip can be!

• Sunscreen. Protect that skin! Bonus points for coral-reef safe to protect the environment as well!

• Mask. Keep it safe...
