December Road Trip 2010

Once again the no-plan annual December road trip is in the works. Our road trips are not for the faint of heart, nor for the OCD types who need a PLAN! Rather than planning each step, or even final destination, we toss ideas around, check weather forecasts, loosely - and I do mean loosely - decide north, south, east or west and then wait for departure date inspiration. This year as in many past the departure date will be Christmas Day.

Christmas Day is a wonderful day to travel - everyone you encounter is in a good mood. Gas station attendants are cheery, grocery stores that stay open aren't crowded, roads aren't crowded, and Christmas road trip fellow travels are happy to be on the open road.

This year the direction will be south. How far south is yet to be determined. How wide a swath east/west as we travel south is yet to be determined. Gear up, gas up, and let the fun commence!

  1. So, where did you go? How was it? Do you have photos? I'm dying to know all!
