Friday night reminded me there are few necessitiesfor a road trip (besides a trusty vehicle and a driver with stamina), but at least eight luxuries worth craving:
When I was in college and just beyond, making the 583 mile trek between Austin and El Paso several times a year, my list was almost exactly like yours...except the first two items were Cheetohs (with hand wipes, of course) and Goldfish crackers. Thanks for bringing up those fond memories for me!
I say yes to all of those things. But good weather conditions is #1. Now the day after, with a bit of howling wind, my car could be taken out for a ride... but not yet. Bonnie
I love the juxtaposition of "empty bladder" and "wide-eyed moon." The prose and the poetry of life right there in two lines! (I also really, really love list slices--to write and especially to read, and so I know I'll be visiting your blog often for inspiration.)
Tnx for reminding me of many CT/FL r/t road trip adventures & the epic "roller shade" saga... with kidos in the "way back" & car top carrier chocker full! !teewS

Not only good for a road trip, Brian, but my crazy nor'easter ride home from school yesterday. Sadly I only had three items on your list! :-(
ReplyDeleteBetter than nothing, Christie :) Happy your trip reached home safely.
DeleteFun list! The moon was beautiful last night! Safe travels!

ReplyDeleteI once drove across country alone. I had a ton of CDs I could sing along with - the kind where you know all the words, even to the obscure songs.

ReplyDeleteAgree on all. Used most to navigate home from NYC tonight.
ReplyDeleteLove road trips! As long as there are snacks 😁
