What to pack on a road trip to California?

Ok, so packing for trip to Northiern California?

• Im going on a road trip with my parents, and family. Its a 3 days trip, its also a funeral. All in Northern California. What should I pack?

• Answer:

  Well if it's a road trip....3 days and in Nor Cal......(I live in Nor Cal...it's a beautiful area).....I suggest the following things. I'm guessing you are a teen...so starving off boredom during the road trip will be big. Ipod or CD player/walkman w/ headphones, a favorite book or two (I recomend Stephen King/Peter Straub - The Talisman personally) and if you have a portable gaming system, you might think about that as well (PSP or Nintendo Gameboy (any variation of the system)). Another thing is a camera...since there are a lot of beautiful sites in Northern California....and you'll want to have pics to remember it. Make sure to pack the hygene products you'll need. Toothpaste, Toothbrush, Comb/Hairbrush, Shampoo/Conditioner, Deodorant, Cologne/Body Spray/Perfume and any other things liket that you might need. Make sure to pack plenty of clothes (3 regular changes, and a nice outifit for the funneral, and a bathing suite in case the place you are staying has an indoor swimming pool or heated outdoor pool). Bring a jacket and umbrella just in case they are needed (they shouldn't be...the forcast over the next several days up here is clear)...chances are you won't need them, but it's a good idea just in case. Bring an extra sweater or sweetshirt...just in case it's cold, something to sleep in (even if you are a nude sleeper...you might want to cover it up if you know a lot of people are going to be around when you are trying to sleep). Bring one everyday pair of shoes..and bring nice shoes for the funneral. Pack Extra Batteries and make sure that there is an emergancy kit, as well as a Rand McNally map (because GPS only works if the battery is good) packed in the trunk...just in case. (also emergancy money(quarters..about 3-4 bucks worth) and a couple of flashlights w/ extra batteries are a good idea). Make sure a few tools and the car jack are in the trunk, and if you are traveling from far out of state....maybe make sure mom and dad have gotten an oil change recently (most places will check the belts, tires and other fluids for free when they do it, to make sure you are good to go for the trip). Try to limit yourself to 1 suitcase worth of stuff....as well as whatever you need in the seat with you during the trip. You don't want to overpack things..not when you are only going to be there for 3 days. (my guess, is 1 day for the trip there, the day of the funneral, and the next day's drive home right?). You'll want something you can change into after the funneral is over, the outfit for the funneral and two outfits (one outfit on the way there, one on the way home) for the trip each way, and one extra outfit in case something gets spilled on you or you get sick or whatever. Anyway, I hope this helps you out.
