I don't know where you are going, but if it involves large stretches of desert, such as the American Southwest, bring hot tea, not coffee, for yourself to stay hydrated and cold water for your car. The temperature shock can cause a heart attack for people not used to drinking cold water in 100°+ heat.
Oooh yes!!
I've been wary of that since I was a kid. I don't remember the title but I read a book where there was a kid helping his family in the fields and got extremely hot and tired. Someone brought out some cold water and before anyone could stop the boy he drank deeply and passed out. Reading that has stuck around for a few decades lol
But thank you! We'll bring beverages that are hydrating. The trip will take us through a variety of environments. The drier climates are some of the most beautiful but daunting journeys
