DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT

SIX PACK

STOCK THE CAR for every EVENTUALITY – from unexpected BUMPS to impromptu BARBECUES – to ensure you have HAPPY TRAVELS all the way.

Your last-minute road-trip checklist

• Car chargers and USB cords for phones, iPads and games consoles

• A first-aid kit including RATs

• Medications (and repeat prescriptions if you are going to be away for a while)

• Hand sanitiser and reusable masks

• Sunscreen (stored in the glove box so it’s not compromised by heat or sun exposure)

• Biodegradable wet wipes

• A dry bag

• Bamboo cutlery and plates

• Colour-coded or personalised coffee cups for every occupant

1 Shopping local is one of the best things about exploring new places. Tread lightly at each destination with a stash of reusable bags, including LINEN HOUSE’s roomy canvas tote, 15, in the car.
