This Friday I hope to make a non-stop drive to Vancouver which I am told takes around 12 hours. I'm 19 and this will be my first time ever making the drive. My experience in mountain driving is limited to driving to banff and back a couple of times.

What are some tips you guys can give me for making a 12 hour drive on my own? I imagine boredom will be a huge factor so i've thought of things like stand-up routines on my ipod and such.

What routes have you found to be the best? To avoid getting lost I was planning on just sticking to highway one, but i've been told there are shorter and safer alternatives.

Any tips would be awesome. I'm quite dumb-founded on how to prepare for this drive.
