One day, two drivers, a van full of girls

Was able to share the driving with 2 other people, but since I had the last shift, I did the most driving cause they got tired and whatnot. We did our drive during the night to avoid traffic and so that we didn't have to take more time off of work. Sooo I drove at like.. 3 or 4am - whenever we got there
I really do enjoy driving places though.
When mongoose and I go visit friends or go to places farther than say Poulsbo, I usually drive.
17 hours by car...
thank god she's licensed, so we can switch it up every once in a while.
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
but my bros are always broke!
aw dammit.
yeah, i got a doozie of a road trip coming up. actually, not bad at all compared to some in the past.
as a kid we did LA to FL in a gran torino, LA to NC on a greyhound, LA to NC in a mustang, a few up and down the CA coast, carson city, SLC, tahoe, etc.
as an adult driver, i've done several trips NC to FL, NC to CT, KY to CT.......FUCK. i can't keep track of all this.

Also took a few trips up to Fairbanks (6-8 hours).
One year we did a real road trip (as opposed to our usual fishing/camping trips) and drove all over Alaska.
Up to Fairbanks, over to Tok, down to Valdez.
It was pretty cool, wouldn't mind doing something like that again someday.
Tell her that you get roadhead or it's no deal.

oh that's definitely part of the deal.
also would have to make the whole trip in one day to avoid motel spending.

When I reach a breaking point in a road trip I will play it a few times and it will almost always get me through it.

I can get to about 2 hours and I'm struggling so hard to stay awake, my eyes are red and burning, I'm sweating and irritable... It's ridiculous. I can ride a dirtbike all fucking day, I can cut laps in a go-kart all day and night, I can operate a forklift for an entire 9 hour work day without a break, but force me to drive on highways and my brain turns to into a sloppy mess.
the drive between seattle and slc is real pretty by the cities
in between, not so much

In a car, you can stop pretty much whenever you want and take a break. So you can still get up and walk around.
You can have food in the car... go to restaurants... drivethrough... pic nics... waaaaay better than airplane food.
TV and movies, eh airplanes have cars beat here. Views? Maybe I've been on some boring ass plane rides but the most common view I've had in an airplane is miles and miles of the tops of clouds, which is pretty fucking boring to look at. Driving you can actually see, and go to landmarks if you want. You can actually see climates merging into other climates, this is cool as fuck.
You can smoke cigarettes, weed (if you get caught you're obviously fucked) while on the drive. Yeah.. theres no getting drunk unless you're a passenger or something. (and even this is illegal in most places - but less morally dubious in my opinion than actual drinking and driving).
I guess bottom line if it weren't for the time factor I would choose to drive everywhere I could.

And no dealing with airport security!
I haven't flown in almost 10 years. Might have to this year, I'm a little scared to be honest.
also getting up on a plane and walking around isn't that great I don't think. Although on the plane to Australia they had free beverages and cookies in the back with a kind of a hang out-ish area (that you weren't allowed to hang out in but I did it anyway I am a rebel)
You also don't have to play "strangers being douches" roulette on a road trip usually
and the constant whooshing in an airplane is no good
so cars definitely win out for me in how comfortable it is to be in them, but the time difference usually seals the deal for planes anyway!
