In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

This way you know for sure that you will be there on time. Use this time to hang out with friends. Make sure you sign in as needed. Do some fun activities to keep you and your friend(s) entertained. Some things you can do are:  Listen to music. Share earbuds and discuss the music you are playing. Play games. If your school allows electronics, play games on your phone or handheld console. If your school does not allow electronics or your electronic device's battery runs out, bring a travel sized board game in case. Draw and write in a notebook. Learn some pen and paper games before you go or record them onto a phone. They will appreciate knowing that you're okay. Unless your school doesn't allow phones or if you don't own a phone. This is a good idea, as if it is someone you don't know very well, it can give you some time to think about what you might talk! Shop for souvenirs and be sure to be back by curfew! Take some pictures too, to share with your family and friends! Your pocket or hidden in the bottom part of your bag are good ideas. A good time to do this is before you go to bed. If you are staying in a hotel or motel, you can request a wake up call at desk night before. Call your parents and tell them you're on your way back. Again, if you have assigned seating, this is not necessary. Entertain yourself, eat your snacks and share stories about your trip, until you get back to school.

Summary:
Arrive 30 minutes to 1 hour early with your packed bag. Sit with your friend(s). Talk to or text your parents once you get to a rest stop. Ask who you're bunking with. Tour the area with your friends. Place your money and valuables in the safe in the room. Charge all electronics/check the batteries. Wake up to alarm or wake up call. Eat breakfast and pack, if it is your last day there. Ask your friend to save you a seat. Depart for home.
