The loonie’s value may affect how often we travel south but the U.S. remains a popular snowbird destination, with Florida being the main attraction. Some road warriors do it in one run, stopping for gas, food, roadside rest facilities and to change drivers, but most stop for at least one overnight rest. Get your car serviced, tires checked and make sure to have plenty of windshield washer fluid before hitting the road. Periodically check weather forecasts on your planned route the week leading up to the trip to get a sense of the climate and driving conditions. Be prepared to pay upfront in cash or credit card before filling up in the U.S. It’s more common than here.
