2 adults and 1 younger teen
We’re going on a two week road trip that’ll be fairly leisurely. Stopping by some parks and sights as we go and a few nights at our ultimate destination
I had my car recently serviced. It all checks out
I have a steam deck on the way! Any recommendations here for travel accessories? Or just in general?
We’ve all got devices and chargers and their respective blocks. I’m looking at a power inverter for the hungrier devices
I was debating bringing the oculus to give whomever a bit of isolation if they need; is there anything specific I’d need to do to use it where there’s no internet? I haven’t used it enough to be very familiar with most of its abilities
We adults have ps5s. Most likely won’t bring one. I’ve seen portable monitors that people use with a local device; does anyone have experience using one for remote play for the ps5?
And making sure we’ve got entertainment downloaded to our devices; obviously books and offline/non electronic entertainment will be brought, as well
I’m really looking forward to this and want to make it the best experience for all involved! I look forward to hearing your tips
Edit to add: the point of the road trip is to bury my grandfather. And I’m petrified of flying in the current state of the US
Since we HAVE to make this trip we’re trying to make the most of it by stopping by some state/national parks and other landmarks/pois during which we’ll be present. But there’s going to be LONG stretches of literally nothing exciting. Like corn fields. Many hours of corn fields. Most days are 6 - 10 hours in the car
Too much of one thing is just not entertaining.
And you can’t lump everyone into the same type of behaviour.
And some children don’t get any value from driving around. Never heard or spoke the words “Are we there yet?!” ???
Then there’s no point in the trip.
Do you even know the goal of the trip?
Maybe only the destination is of importance
Thank you. Yes, the point is to go bury my grandfather. I didn’t want to include that but fuck me for trying to get advice for a long trip. I did not think I’d be torn apart for “not being one with nature” for 50 hours
But sincerely, thank you for actually thinking for yourself ♥️
Edit: ok, torn apart is a bit of a stretch but I wish that wasn’t what people focused on
No no, you were basically chewed out.
And it grinds my gears if someone doesnt amswer the actual question and instead interprets it as something else and/or projects themselve on your position.
This is the age old problem you usually see on other pages like Stackoverflow.
Example:
OP: How can I do this thing?
Answer 1: This is stupid. Do this totally other thing. This will achieve what you want.
Answer 2: Marks post as duplicate and insults OP for using a Microsoft product
Optimal answer: You could do it this and this way.
But this amd that way is more optimal and achieves your goal faster.
Since tech seems to be what people are focusing on and not actual advice, the point of the trip is to bury my grandfather. I am fearful to fly in the US currently. We have to make this trip so we’re making it as enjoyable as possible. I didn’t feel like including that in the post because I didn’t feel it was actually relevant
And I know I already replied to you , but I wanted it to really sink in
