Route planning
If someone in your group is dedicated to using mapquest.com (cough cough, Mom) then make sure you double-check with another service, like Google Maps.

Here’s to saving the most time on the road or in line so that you can have the best time at your destination!🏝
Until next time fellow travelers!
