Always pray before leaving your home. Pray for a safe and nice trip, pati na din yung house nyo na iiwanan.

saw sa tv last time na magandang substitute raw sa coffee ay yung apple to keep you awake. pwede ka magbaon ng apple para pag inaantok ka while driving then kumain ka ng apple to keep you awake. or hanap ka muna ng parking area then eat the apple. mas healthy pa kaysa coffee.

Dagdag lang ako kay artpogi, hindi lang cooling system but all hoses, pati sa vacuum. Nakakainis yung masiraan ka tapos ang simple lang ng reason... natanggal na hose kasi loose ang pagkakabit...

for the car:

check all fluids, tires, etc a day before the trip.

for the driver:

get enough sleep

Mileage now is 92,000 kms. Last change oil nya at check up was during 90,000 kms. So far only the timing belt was replaced nung 75,000 kms at ang shocks. Lahat periodic maintenance lang.

What do I need to check for the long drive? Ano pa ibang advice you to enjoy the trip? Thanks in advance for your replies. Sana makatulong din ito sa iba.

wala akong masasabi dahil lahat ay nabanggit na. anyways, aside from the tips given by the other posters, always remember to bring your brains while driving. relax lang. remember that no journey is urgent enough. tip: for long drives, bring along calamansi or siling labuyo. para sa long drive yan, pag-inaantok ka, yun ang pangusin mo... tyak yun gising ka.

if you have a cellphone.. be sure na may load ito..hehe

bring light and healthy snacks for long trips para maganda ang condition. resist fatty and oily foods..

saka madaming drinking water.. init eh! iwasan na ang soda at frap.. mahal pa un.. hehe

yung mga canned fix a flat or similar products, maganda ring dalhin. lalo na kung sa gitna ka ng kawalan mag drive. saved me once... at least aabot ka sa vulcanizing shop.

saka red bull. solid. hehe
