1) Road trips are an awesome time to work on your singing. You have a captive audience who can't really say anything bad since they'll be stuck with you for the next ten days. This is always a good time to try out your upper range as well. If singing isn't your thing then you can also work on your seated dance moves. These come in handy when at a function where awesome music is playing and your table is too lame to get up and dance.
2) The U.S. needs to have more rest stops along their highways. Preferably with a Tim Horton's attached to it, but at least not make people wait so friggin long for the next bathroom to show up. Note to self, drink less tomorrow.
3) If you're traveling to Barstow, CA and staying at the Best Western you should be prepared and drive up with your white pickup truck. Our orange crosstrek looks very out of place amongst the ten+ white pickup trucks outside. Good lesson to learn for next time...
4) Cheesy 80s music is appropriate for any and all occasions. I finally heard the actual song that the Golden Girls theme song was from. Now I can't get it out of my head.
Until tomorrow... Happy travels!
Does that mean you are getting a white pickup truck when you get to Canada?
ReplyDeleteIt's a little late, but perhaps you'll pass some CD stores on the way? Anyway, I highly recommend Dashboard Confessional's first album: The Swiss Army Romance for loud car singing/screaming. We used to play it a lot when driving to and from high school.
ReplyDeleteTruth though, that cheesy 80s music is appropriate for any and all occasions. Truth.
Seated dance moves could also spice up our next skype session - you can start us off after all that practice ;-) I totally hear you about the quench-thirst vs. uncomfortable-need-to-pee quandary on road trips ...
ReplyDeleteI know the exact hotel you're talking about! Definitely stayed there before.
ReplyDeleteAnd singing in the car is the best!
