9. Other items to bring on holiday to ensure success: an excellent and current atlas, a cell phone with charger, emergency phone numbers for family members, insurance cards (car and hospital), and activities to do along the way. If you are traveling with children, bring along games, books, stickers, and crayons for a successful, and quieter, trip.

10. Maintain a sense of humor. There will be times when a plan may change. And there will always be that occasional hiccup. Before traveling, decide that you will see the funny side of any bad situation rather than let it ruin your vacation.

A successful self-drive holiday is just around the corner for you. Have you started planning yet? Enjoy the process and pay attention to the details, and you'll be sure to have a great time together as a family seeing the sights and enjoying the journey.
