DRIVECATION – A Self Drive Vacation!!!!
Let’s face it……Staying home for last few months hasn’t been easy!!!
As the lockdown opens we are literally itching to get out of the house and get some fresh air.
The fields are lush green, the trees are washed clean and lakes full after the monsoons.
The air is crisp and fresh and the weather is just perfect to hit the road!!!
Of course though everything seems perfect, we cannot brush aside the looming threat of the ongoing pandemic.
The Virus is still there and is going to be there for a while.
We have to acclimatise to the new way of life, the new normal and carry on.
I reckon, Self Drive Holidays or Road Trips is the best and safest way to travel in these circumstances.
Drive in the safety and comfort of your own vehicle.
Stop by as you wish and where you wish.
All you need is a friend or family, a full tank and a friendly Travel Advisor!!!
Like all things in life, the End Goal depends on making a solid plan to chart your destination.
A great journey begins with meticulously planning !!!
Design a great itinerary, select safe and clean accommodation and follow the below checklist.
