Summer is just around the corner. That means many families are planning their summer vacations and road trips. When on the road don’t forget your dash cam from companies similar to Black box my car for the safety of your family. When we visit family, we have to travel at least four hours. Four hours can feel like ten if the kids are antsy or crabby. So, I’ve rounded up a great list of road-trip activity books that will keep kids of all ages (and maybe the adults, too) entertained on long car rides or on the airplane. A road trip is the perfect way to christen a new car. If you are on the lookout for a new car then you may require the assistance of Lending Expert in sourcing the right car loan based on your needs. Don’t forget to make sure you have plenty of space in the trunk for all your luggage too! One of my friends just got a fantastic new suitcase after reading some reviews on the BuyersImpact.com website – you can see it here. There are lots of other product reviews on there too, so it is a very useful resource to know about.
