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

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?

Thanks!

haha, I try to give you slack, but then something like this.

Cough medicine for the kid.

Mom used to mix a little sloe gin with our milk when I was
a kid. Worked like a charm.

Were you in an airplane?

Cough medicines generally suppress respiration and mask the symptoms of
hypoxia, as well as increasing susceptibility to hypoxia a great deal.
Combine that with alcochol and the risks are even greater.

Why would you be sorry? I'm a trol and proud of it.
As far as I know, the only troll to make it into two parliaments and a
Wikepedia.
