Hope your trip goes well. The drive is a bit long alone so maybe you can take breaks and talk on the phone to make you feel less alone. You probably should pack some snacks. Maybe fruit, nuts, cheese, protein chips. Stuff that you would enjoy and keep you going in case you don’t want to stop at the time you want/need something.!:)

Thanks APhoebe - I'm going to the coast. Love the weather there and I am so tired of the heat where I live. Thanks Navywife and Morticia - I thought more about it and usually I don't need snacks. Sometimes I'll take string cheese. I bought 2 boxes of microwave popcorn, something I never have at home. I'll take one box and leave the other for my house/pet sitter. I'll take a small cooler with bottled water and diet soda. Have to have them when on vacation, but at least this time I won't take fully sugared soda! I have a package of 12 Hawaiian bread rolls. I like to make mini sandwiches with them so I'll take a few slices of cheese. I am bringing tea bags since I never like the coffee in the motel room and I like a cup of tea in the evening.

I understand that! I just got back from South Carolina. I live in N.W. Florida. I brought the sensible portions veggie straws and sun chips. When my daughter wanted Mc.Donalds I ordered a big mac without the bun. Our hotel had free breakfast and that was delicious. There is also popcorn that is called skinny girl popcorn. That is REALLY good and I just used the truck stop microwave for it.

Thanks Robin - I usually stop for fast food on the drive to and from the coast. But therre are lots of nice rest stops once I get near the top of California and in Southern Oregon which is where I'll be around lunch time. I'm hoping to stop at one for lunch using a Hawaiian roll and a slice of cheese. I did that on my last trip and that is just enough to satisfy me. But if I stop for fast food I can sometimes get by without fries (not always!). Thanks Navywife - the plan is really just for not having lots of junk in the motel room. If it's there I'll eat it! Thanks Diana - I hadn't been to Oregon until about 3 years ago. Then last year I went 3 times to the coast and this will be my 3rd trip this year. It's such a long drive though and usually I go with a friend.

You can do it.( Not sure of the quality, but Wendy's advertises salads.)
