A longgggg trip! But don't fret. Let the Road Rules be your guide! The subtitle says it all: Hundreds of Ideas, Games, and Devotions for Less-Annoying Youth Group Travel. Let's be honest. You didn't get into this racket to drive kids all over creation in a rusty heap that was manufactured before you were born! You got into this because you love kids--and you want them to know God loves them, too.
