Road Trip!

Get some books on tape --I concur with the Harry Potter suggestion. Also really good, that everyone can enjoy, Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books, if you've never read them (One For The Money is the first book) --The series is pretty hilarious.

Otherwise, get a portable DVD player for in the car and you can watch movies or something too.

karl gambolputty...:
I like to load up my iPod with podcasts before going on a long trip.  They're free, and pretty entertaining if you pick them right (NPR).  Fresh Air and Wait Wait... are great for driving.

rancidhooligan:
Back in the day, when all I had was a stock Honda AM/FM radio with cassette but the tape player was broken I'd go to NPR.com and get the frequencies for all the NPR stations along my route.  That way I always had NPR while I drove.

LadyFirelyght it doesn't seem like that's a problem for you, though.  I thought it might help someone else, however.

I don't know about this.  I mean, Lemmy knows when I was a kid I would have liked nothing more than a portable DVD player and an entire season of The A-Team but we didn't have that stuff back in the 80s.  I think watching television on a road trip is the worst thing you can do.  Play roadkill bingo, or "I Spy," or look at the landscapes, or check out the other cars.  Go to all the weird tourist traps along the way.  "Deepest Cavern in Idaho," "Largest Ceramic Lawn Gnome in the West," "The Walt Whitman Once Stopped To Use The Bathroom Here Motel," etc.

If you're taking a 2000 mile road trip, you'd better show up in Seattle with some cheesy snow globes from the stuff you saw along the way.

Boro_Bandito:
Card games, mental clue, license plate abc's, I spy, and then just slowly kill each other with nagging for the other 3 days, 23 hours you have left.

SeanBateman:
Smoke a lot of cigarettes, everyone but the driver should get drunk, and you should probably smoke a ton of weed too.

Don't bring hard drugs because you're fucked if you get caught with those crossing state lines.
