Road Trip Information systemCards, map and journal

Never visit a city again and have no idea what to do while you are there! Avoid spend hours planning for a trip by searching website after website or pouring over, long travel books.

Just pick up a Road Trip pack of cards for the city you are visiting and let the fun begin. Each city has its own deck of cards available for purchase that contains experiences within your destination city. The cards will contain one of the following: a site to see, a hidden gem, a place to eat, nightlife, an outdoor adventure, a miscellaneous activity and blank cards for you to fill in your own favorites not in the deck. The cards are color coded by type of activity so you can browse through the deck based on the type of activity you are inter-ested in doing or select the cards at random. If you want to choose your activity by what is close by, Road Trip also contains a map that folds up to the same size as the cards for convient carrying. The map clearly marks the locations of activities with a numbered that corrolates with each card.

Cards feature an image, brief description, estimated amount of time to complete card, location, and a challenge or a tip that you may or may not wish to complete during your adventure. Tips like what to order at a restaurant, when the best time to visit a site and avoid the crowd and ways to get discounts for your trip. When you have a great experience at a loca-tion that is not in your deck of cards, simply draw or tape a thumbnail picture on the card and the descrip-tion, estimated time and location, maybe even a tip. You can also use one of the small, location marker stickers on the backside of map to add the location to your foldout map. Making it easy to remember and repeat your favorite activities on future trips.

Lastly, the Road trip pack contains a journal where you can document your trip. Just peal the back off the sticky tabs off the page and place the cards to the inside of your journal with your personal account of the experience and pictures. Creating an easy on the go scrapbook of memories from your trip.

Box contains: 20 Sites to See cards; 20 Dining cards; 20 Hidden Gem cards; 20 Activities Cards; 5 Blank cards to complete while doing your own trip research or on the go; a folded map of the city with makers where each card is located; and a journal.
