Default 16 hour drive

Well I'm moving to florida next weekend (or sooner not yet decided) but it's a 16 hour drive. I'll be by myself in my little car flying down the highway. My car speakers are about to die (actually they make this weird noise that hurts my ears so I have to turn it off whenever I hear it) I might take my ipod if i can find my regular speakers for it (not headset since those are bad while driving). So any suggestions on how NOT to go crazy on a 16 hour drive?

The only way I could stay sane for a 16 hour drive is take alot of breaks, and also eat alot. But then I would gain 10 pounds, and it would be a 3 day drive.

Hm...what a predicament that is.

Well I know I'm going to be making at least one pitstop for awhile in Jacksonville to say hi to my family there but beyond that I'm not sure when I'll be stopping.

I'd load up the passenger seat with easy to eat and drive munchies and drinks, then just stop for rest breaks. Munch and drive, the only way forward.

Of course, to drive 16 hours I'd have to do a couple of laps of the country

SLEEP! if you get tired pull over and take a power nap. you're the most dangerous when tired while driving a vehicle. if not for your own safety do it for the others around you. also coffee, beverages, and foods will help. try to stick with protein foods as they will last longer unlike carbs which burn quicker.

COFFEE. Yes, that is the solution.
