Road Trippin

Back in the day, a Road Trip was epic, think Animal House, Frat Brothers trashing a Lincoln, visiting the Dexter Lake Club to see Otis Day and the Knights do Shama-Lama-Ding Dong.  Rock and Rye and 5 Carling’s.   Hard core partying.

Fast forward 4 decades and drop the Lincoln and substitute a U-Haul and you have my current and modern day Road Trip.  This being a Travel Blog (sort of), all means of travel are fair game.  U-Haul, pulling a trailer, 55 MPH…it just doesn’t get any better than that.

We rolled out of Jacksonville, North Carolina (NC) at 1330 and hit Augusta, Georgia (GA) around 1930, those were a hard 6 hours…U-Haul hours.  Until you’ve done them, do not judge me!  No USB port meant FM radio out of crappy speakers.  Fortunately, I was in good company with my friend Leighton.

I’m playing around with 1 Second Every Day doing a video of our adventure, I hope it turns out to be as fun as it seems to be.  The results, good or bad, will appear here after we get to Dallas.

We plan on stopping in either Vicksburg, Mississippi (MS) tomorrow night, maybe Monroe, Louisiana (LA) if we’re adventurous and we don’t get saddle weary.

Time spent helping your family, is time well spent.  Time spent helping your family, with a friend, is time very well spent.  Bring on tomorrow, Carpe Diem!  I don’t feel 18 again but, I do though feel younger than the calendar says that I am!
