My girlfriend of 6 months and I are taking our first road trip together this weekend. What do I need to know about how to handle this first major trip away from home for both of us together?

People like to road trip differently. For example, I like to have plans and layouts. My BF is the exact opposite. This was really hard at first and it's backfired a few times (sleeping in the car in a state park because of no vacancy while I was sick & with posion ivy...that was a rough night), but it also opened me up to great experiences I wouldn't have had otherwise (imaging walking up to this view with no idea it had existed: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftraveloregon.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F05%2Fcannon-beach-heeb.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftraveloregon.com%2Fcities-regions%2Foregon-coast%2Fcannon-beach%2F&docid=Zy4DJrUmBU3VYM&tbnid=IIHZDmgiqZw5MM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwjcpYD3heHVAhXJ6YMKHSESDP8QMwhBKAUwBQ..i&w=2000&h=1328&bih=918&biw=1280&q=cannon%20beach&ved=0ahUKEwjcpYD3heHVAhXJ6YMKHSESDP8QMwhBKAUwBQ&iact=mrc&uact=8#h=1328&imgdii=d4UkZ40wqk91nM:&vet=10ahUKEwjcpYD3heHVAhXJ6YMKHSESDP8QMwhBKAUwBQ..i&w=2000).

Anyway, I guess discuss how you like to do things (do you like to plan? do you like schedules? early riser?) and find a middle ground or take turns doing things the way you each prefer.
