xD, I don't drink coffee but I'll probably be bringing lots of caffine drinks.

I just really don't want to get super bored on the way there and go crazy.

I remember driving 18 hours to florida a few trips/vacations ago (I wasn't in TN at the time). I brought along the following:

- Case of CD's (close to 128)
- Small box of Chips/Cheese Dip
- A box of cookies (I like the keebler caramel cookies)

Since it was an 18 hour drive, I probably additionally consumed 10-12 cups of coffee from various gas stations and Starbucks locations. Needless to say, between speeding a bit more than I should have been, the snacks, coffee and music, I didn't get bored once.

I had my cell phone on me, though I never used it because where I was going is where all my friends were so I could just wait.

I've taken plenty of long trips in a car

Maine & Florida.. 12 hours each

I suggest good music, I could drive for HOURS on a few good Cd's. I know your speakers are about to die, so... bring a boom box!!!!! put on a good CD, or hook your ipod up to it !

Every year we drive to flordia from detroit with our 2 kids, currently 4 and 5, it's a 22 hour drive if you go non stop no sleep and just potty and food breaks. If your speakers are bad I'd suggest your Ipod or a portable battery operated radio with a cd player snacks and take several breaks. I also suggest take I-77 instead of I-75, not sure exactly wher in Ohio you are but if you have the choice take 77 it's a nice more scenic route. plus it takes you right into Jacksonville which I'm sure you already know.

Good Luck and be safe.
