Default First Long Cross-Country as a Pilot -- Any tips?

JDK wrote:
Alright, first long cross-country coming up for me as a pilot.
Traveling up to see family for Memorial Day weekend (and hoping the
weather holds out on Friday).

Of note, I did my training in a (slow) C152, but moved up to a fuel-
injected C172 after getting my license.

Any tips to ease the flight? Good tips for fuel consumption savings?
Tips for taming my 2-year old for the flight?


Just plan the flight as normal. A long cross-county is no harder than a
short one. Just keep an eye on the weather.

As for the 2 year-old, mine were always asleep before I reached pattern
altitude. :-)
