What do you do while you drive? One thing I hated about long drives was being alone in my head the whole way. Then I found audio books. You can buy them or borrow them from your local library. They come on CD and Cassette, and at the library there usually is no cost to borrow. You can choose any genre you like and there are short and long ones. Even if your concentration is not so great, or you zone out for a while, you can still zone back into the book and either back it up or go on from there.
Also, having a new book, or some short stories, to look forward to will likely take the dread out of the drive to Grandma's.
