I know how busy you are so I appreciate your taking time to read & comment.....I do enjoy road trips too - and am also a "map person" but I do enjoy using the GPS devices when I rent a car - it's kind of fun to have something telling me where to go! And I find myself talking to it (sort of - I thank it every time it tells me to make a direction change or whatever...it just seems rude not to)...and congrats to your Dad! @ SarahQT - I find that listening to audio books really helps pass the time, and that it really is important to take breaks now and then to get some fresh air and stretch your legs. @ Dave and Deb – Thanks for stopping by!

In Canada, everything is very spread out. Driving from Montreal to Toronto for the weekend is quite a common occurrence. We love road trips. Cold winters cause us to drive to Florida often. I always look forward to the drive, eating fast food, listening to music and checking out the view. We normally drive together taking turns, but once, I drove to Pitsburg all by my lonesome to see my dad compete in the Senior Olympics! He won by the way:) We are still map people, we have a fantastic map book that has all of our previous road trips highlighted. So when we go to Florida for example, our route is all mapped out for us. We tend to do road trips a lot. In Canada, everything is very spread out.

Thanks for the tips and trips. Not sure if I'm up for road trips unless someone else goes with me. Couldn't imagine driving 12 or more hours by myself; would get tired and little lonely. Great post.
