Taking advantage of that extra day off this weekend sounds great. It opens up possibilities to visit family, experience the great out doors, or taking time off for a mini vacation. Whatever the reason is for your holiday travels, please remember to drive safe this weekend.

Taking precautions before you leave this weekend could be the difference between a happy get-a-way or a weekend disaster. Here are the easiest ways to prevent those pesky, problematic issues.

More Advice

Looking at your weekend budget would be wise for fellow vacationers this weekend as well. This doesn't mean you have to find a use for every penny but a good overall understanding of hotel and restaurant prices would be a great head start. As you have heard, time is money, and thinking that way on the road wouldn't hurt. Traveling during off hours of the day would save you time on the highway and freeway, meaning better mpg, translating into more money in your tank. 

Last of all, preparing for the future weather forecasts is a must. Mother Nature tends to have a sense of humor during the days we plan special events. Being prepared for anything would keep that vacation smile on your face for the whole weekend.

Relax, enjoy your time off and celebrate the holiday weekend the best way you know how!
