When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money
Arvid and I will be leaving today on a loooonnng road trip. Good and bad. Good because we like to be on the move.....and as Robert Louis Stevenson said I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travels sake. The great affair is to move
Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything and trust me most of the times this is exactly what happens....and this is bad. I would like to stop and look around a bit but, no way Arvid has other plans. The goal is to get there as soon as possible and to see as little as possible in between.
Does not matter because we do enjoy ourselves and some way or the other I do manage to get him to stop. Normally all I ask for is to stop at Starbucks so that I may get my Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino.
Another good thing about a road trip is that it gives us the opportunity to converse. Believe it or not when we are home and busy with work and so many other things conversation (quality time) does not play a big roll.
Travelling does, instead of broadening the mind, it lengthens our conversation time....but to be honest with you I will have to say that I do not care that much for road trips. Too exhausting on the body and sometimes too much time together can make you crabby especially if you are hungry and cannot find a good place to stop and have a meal.....
I love my food and Burger King just does not cut it for me as my main meal of the day....just thinking about it makes me antsy...
Good though is that we do not have the phones ringing constantly and for a while we are away from the computers....hopefully not for too long.
OK people beware...here we come and when it's my turn to drive I really am not that tolerant forget about Arvid he will be honking at you even if you are not on his lane. He honks for everyone on the road...fun!! fun!
For those who love road trips you should consider Route 66. Check the link and decide for yourself.....
For me the best part of the road trip is getting there....one step closer to Brutus. .jpg)
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.
until next time....
