When the autumn leaves begin to turn and the air gets that certain nip, it's time for one last outing before the "winter blahs" set in. Fall getaway Whether planning a weekend in the country to observe the fall foliage or a family car trip to visit a far­ away relative, a bit of foresight will help make your excursion all the more pleas­ ant. Since much fall travel is carried out within the con­ fines of cars, buses and trains, it's important to pack along a number of "anti- boredom"' devices to ensure a good journey. Today, many board games are made with magnetic boards, which are perfectly suited for nice long trips on rhythmically swaying trains and in cruising cars. • / It's not always necessary to bring carry-along games: for energetic groups, there exist an array of word games as old as long distance travel itself. A rousing round of "Ghost" or "Geography" will stimulate those creative juices, while you speed along towards your appointed des­ tination. For an interesting change of pace, take advantage of the unique perspective avail­ able through the windows of your vehicle. From this vantage point, vast areas are able to be ob­ served and appreciated. You might want to focur on the lay of the land or perhaps the architecture of a certain re­ gion. In the event that you be­ come too absorbed with the "exterior," the possibilities of forgetting the "interior" increase. These are the times when a cup of coffee or a melting chocolate bar may end up in your lap instead of your mouth. When you're miles from a dry cleaner and have to look just as fresh when you reach your destination as when you started out, be prepared to solve the problem easily and quickly: just apply K2r® Spot-lifter to the spot, let it dry to a fine white powder, and then just brush the pow­ der and the soil away. Plan carefully As a final travel pleas­ antry. be sure to arrange the hours and means of transpor­ t a t i o n t o a f f o r d y o u t h e maximum amount of comfort and enjoyment. If you prefer to sleep through the miles, c h e c k t r a n s p o r t a t i o n schedules in advance to find out the departures and arriv­ als of night trains or buses The beauty of autumn can enhance many a motor trip, and local automobile associ­ ations will gladly provide you with maps indicating scenic routes throughout the coun­ try. With these thoughts in mind, traveling might even become more fun than what is reached at the end of the line!
