Travel has become the main way of life for us retired people. Which way to choose food, accommodation and transportation is the main topic discussed by travel friends. We have basically determined the following self-driving travel principles:

Travel in spring and autumn every year, avoid winter vacation, summer vacation and national statutory holidays (except for special seasonal attractions); travel to the west and the Central Plains in spring, and choose the south direction in autumn and winter; mainly prepare your own meals, supplemented by local characteristics. Prepare enough food ingredients and tableware for meals on the way;

For accommodation, resort hotel apartments with good sanitary conditions are preferred, which is convenient for "migratory birds" to take a short vacation. They can stay in cities or scenic spots where they feel comfortable for many days.
