a spare tire

music! :)

snack food.

hmm.we always brought our tv and watched movies.

and comfy clothes! i hate jeans in cars..sweats are the best!

have fun and drive safe

The number one essential is lots of money. Without that you won't get much past Columbus. Just curious, why Walnut Creek? There isn't much there.

we don't rather have a similar ability for long highway journeys interior the united kingdom..... so the longest i've got accomplished is the ten or 12 hours (I forget) to get to Scrabster for the ferry to Orkney. And dealing with frequently fairly excellent panorama with considered one of those magical trip spot potential that the moments the place the A9 blocks up or that is pouring with rain so heavy you won't be able to see with out the wipers being in double speed - all bypass by way of interior the anticipation of the trip spot or the delight interior the view. Oh, and that i could pick the two Cher or The angels have the telephone field (ideally the two considered one of them) - we could only have plenty to talk approximately!! And if The angels replace into alongside, we could get solid track too, to speed the adventure. EDIT: If we are going with coach journeys, I could desire to contain the 24+ hours on a coach from the north of britain to Prague with 30 of my pupils........ easily, the holiday back replace into plenty worse as i could had fairly too plenty Becherovka the night earlier......

IPod or newly burned cds, a map or gps or mapquest directs..i recomend a gps so if you take a side trip you have a way back to your main route, um a bone for the puppy i recomend chicken cheweez and a stuffed animal..make sure its not filled with any of those stupid pellets or beans things..just an old fashon stuffy with out the hard eys..but eyes that are felt or some soft material

a few bottles of that 5 hour energy drink. I made it from CT to SC border on one energy drink with out the crash. it really helped my trip to florida drive safe

Lysol

a full bladder.
