Camping this Summer?

Well the Summer camping season is not her yet, but it is not too early to make plans for what to do for vacation this Summer. With gas prices on the rise there is always a bit of nervousness about going away on a long road trip.

I am a tech guy by background so I tend to overanalyze situations. The last couple of days I spent at least six hours trying to decide on which pair of headphones to buy for my home stereo…maybe overanalyze is not really the right word.

Anyway there are a few things to look at besides just gas prices for what you should do for a summer trip this year.

Deciding on a Camping Holiday

Gas prices

Hotel or camping?

How many hours of driving a day?

New destination?

Where have you always wanted to go?

These questions will hopefully help you answer your summer vacation plans. Another really important lesson that I have learned with my kids being so young (4 year old and an 8 year old) is that there is no point in driving for more than 4 hours in a stretch and 8 hours driving in a day is really pushing it with young kids. I always tried to get more driving in and now that I drive shorter hours per day on holiday we all enjoy the driving a lot more.
