Future Road Trip: Driverless Becomes Car/Hotel Suite Combo


Imagine a future auto journey. You go from New York to Washington, or Los Angeles to San Francisco, in a private hotel suite on wheels. Instead of a tedious drive with your eyes always on heavy traffic, you’ll relax on a comfy bed, munch a sandwich and watch TV soap operas or the latest sports event.

The more luxurious versions of the driverless cars will have twin or double beds, kitchen, dining area with views, refrigerator, bath with shower and other upscale features. It may also have a transparent roof, inviting the romantic couple to enjoy the passing daytime scenery and nightly skies.

A drive can be an especially happy event for romantic couples. They’ll cuddle and smooch in their own private highway rolling love nest. For more info, go to www.cnn.com/travel/article/autonomous-travel-suites.

There’s an old Navy saying: When in trouble or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout. Of course, the opposite is really the intelligent way to deal with problems.

When your flight is cancelled, the hotel is fully booked or other problem strikes you, take a deep breath and review the situation. While others stand around and complain, go immediately to the airline or hotel desk and check out alternatives.

Additionally, get on the phone or smartphone and check all immediate alternatives. When you speak up first, and with courtesy, your chances are best in making other plans quickly and successfully.
