Honestly... I have never driven further than 500 miles on a trip.
Next week, I will be driving from New Jersey to Florida with the Elise I hope to purchase (provided everything is agreeable when I get there). I plan on breaking this up into two days of travel. Since I will be traveling from mid-30's temps to mid-60's temps, and have limited cargo room (the Elise's trunk is about 1/6th the size of the 914's rear trunk), space and weight need to be conserved... Here is what I am thinking of bringing.... Cell Phone, Charger, and Ear piece Radar detector (and a list of the states they are illegal in) PDA/GPS and accessories Cigarette lighter splitter Digital camera Music preloaded on to flash card (car's radio has SD memory slot! cool!) Ear plugs Small towel Hat Sunscreen Sunglasses Lotus Club membership card AAA card Cash Car already has a tool kit in it Leather jacket Jeans Shoes T-shirts (two) Pullover Undies Socks toiletries Printouts of… Lotus dealerships Hotel Mapquest maps Sales agreement Directions to Mile's place Aluminum foil for my head. What else? |

Snug hat.
GPS! It changes everything. You can always get there. You may want to roll up one of those t-shirts to have to put under a leg or behind your neck- something to change the load points. the road mentioned is "Tail of the dragon" googled this: "The Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, with 318 curves in 11 miles, is America ’s number one motorcycle and sports car road. The nearby Cherohala Skyway is quickly becoming number two with its remote 60 miles of scenic mountain highway. The area also has other roads less traveled, but just as exciting. Come and discover them all." tail of the dragon Are ya gonna take a laptop and post when you stop for the night? |
