Answer 1

Stop and relax at some place you aren't familiar with for a soda or something for an hour or so.

Answer 2

Listening to the radio or music

Answer 3

Rent a motor home rather than a car!

Let her drive!

Beer breaks at every rest area!

Sleep between rest areas.

A quickie at every other rest area!

Portable DVD and porno!

Answer 4

Audiobooks, for the win!  I crossed the country on Jim Dale's reading of the first four Harry Potter books.

Answer 5

Mmmm.  Trips can be boring.  But,  you could try a number of things:   Singing songs together,  stopping along the way at tourist sites,   Take pictures along the way (whether of you and your wife,  or the scenery).  Maybe this will help

Answer 6

Read or sleep(if you're not driving, of course!), listen to music, talk, stop often for breaks to stretch. Bring alcohol.
