Ahhh… the summer road trip. The idea summons fond memories of Jack Kerouac, my aged but trusty VW, winding back roads across Europe, accidental destinations and more than a few romantic wine and cheese picnics along the way. Youth is a marvelous time, and those rambling road trip memories still elicit smiles.
Alas, road trips these days are no longer about romance. But they are still a fun way to escape for a while. Which is what I am about to do. Yippee!
I’m traveling with my cousin, D., and in a few days, we will be on our way to her home state of Tennessee. D. is a great traveling companion — funny, interested in everything along the way and very willing to depart from the plan to explore anything that looks interesting. (Sometimes we get a little carried away exploring unmarked roads, so it’s reassuring that she has OnStar :-)
Right now, the plan is to combine time with family and visits to historical sites with whatever catches our eye and “speaks” to us. It sounds like a recipe for a great vacation.
Stay tuned…
