Travelling by car allows you to set your own pace and make an itinerary that fits your needs and abilities. However car travel can mean long days of sitting while driving. It is recommended that you stop every hour or two, take a 10 minute walk and stretch. If it is time for your medications take them, rest and enjoy the scenery.

Plan your trip. Don’t overestimate your abilities. Driving short distances around town to and from home are not road trips which require planning as well as stamina. Pick interesting places to stop and relax, breaking the trip up into sections and if travelling with a companion share the driving. Also prepare yourself to travel by planning an exercise routine prior the trip and one that can be continued while travelling.

Be careful with the time of taking mediations as they can cause drowsiness, particularly after eating. Take a nap prior to leaving and avoid eating for two to three hours before departing. Take your time, putting undo pressure to make a destination causes undo stress taking the joy out of travelling.

When the trip is planned and you are prepared travelling by car is a wonderful way to travel.
