In today’s video on talking about the benefits of a trip tick from AAA. If you happen to be a AAA member you should definitely take advantage of a service they provide revolving around planning your road trip.
First of all, having a roadside service available to you I think is a fantastic idea but along with that, they provide so much more in this particular case with talking about the trip tick itself from AAA. If you stop into their office talk about your next vacation or road trip they will help design a root plan as well as areas to avoid and stuff to make sure you see along the way. This could include several Tour books as well they give you much more detailed information about certain areas that you will be traveling through some of the things that included in these books are campgrounds with ratings, of course, all the contact information you need as well as sightseeing and attractions in each area.
They also have a great section for advertisement revolving around vehicle repair so if you find yourself in the situation where you’re broke down and you need to get service you can refer to these books to find the closest one that’s right for you. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what these Tor books provide. On top of that, they’ll put together a small binder packet of your route and give you turn by turn instructions on a map in written form as well. If you happen to be going through a particularly difficult area or congested area they will provide a more detailed area map of those locations and again with instructions on what turns to make and where.
On top of that binder, they also provide full-size maps with your route highlighted and any special notes that need to be made to let you know you should refer back to the detailed guide. The bottom line is these are fantastic tools for traveling. I like to do a lot of my own research and planning however there are times it’s great to have this as a backup plan because it also helps you avoid construction areas. if you want to you can have it set up to avoid toll roads as much as possible as well as weight limits if you’re traveling in a large RV, and also help you avoid roads with low overhead restrictions.
In the end, of course, you’re responsible for your trip and to make the best of it but using these tools that are provided for you if you are a AAA member, I think is a must do at least once especially if you are heading into uncharted territory. Once again the whole idea is to be prepared plan for the worst hope for the best and have a good time.
