Well, let’s supposed you were planning a long trip by automobile to an unfamiliar destination , hundreds of miles away. Would you simply fill your car with gas and start off on your journey, not even knowing the direction of your destination? Probably not!
You will need to prepare, to plan. You may talk to someone you know who made a similar trip previously, to learn from their experiences. You would probably consult Google Maps or some other GPS-based travel app and view the alternative routes suggested by the app. You would decide what resources you would need before beginning your journey. Are you going to have to stay over night? If so, where? Will the weather en route be an issue? Will you need to take several changes of clothes. How much money will you need to purchase meals, gas, etc.?
Once prepared, you may begin your journey with the confidence that it will go well and you will arrive at your intended destination.
