SS5 53 On the road

skyangel on June 13, 2014

According to the internet it should take about 8 hrs so in theory it should be possible in a day but I'm not a very confident or aggressive driver so I tend to saty in the nearside lane (Yeah the SLOW lane!) for most of my journeys so if I get stuck behind a milkfloat it normally takes me a lot to get frustrated enough to overtake. Becky is from CA btw so she's used to driving hundreds of miles just to get see friends and family.
Anyways….in case you're interested, I put the original sketched page for this up on FB for those who like the background stuff. It's a bit annoying as the pic size is limited but you can still see most of the working out and scribbles I made. :)

Kim: I know, I'm exactly the same and I often rely on it way too much. The last holiday we had in Cornwall we wanted to go to a popular tourist attraction(Tintagel)and using the sat nav it took us a DIRECT route sending us down some really narrow and scarily steep and winding country roads. But it poured with torrential rain on our arrival so we turned back. The second time we went I looked at the map first and noticed that all we had to do was to take two main roads which took us straight there but in a more 'L' shape. hence to say we got there in half the time! lol But the wonderful thing about SatNav is that it does tell me when I'm heading the wrong way which is a blessing in itself.

Whenever someone says 'Road Trip', keep hearing/seeing when Peter Griffin from "Family Guy" was on that 'Patrick Swayse "Road House"' fixation (he drove by shouting "Road House" and kicking the steering wheel)

Road trip' 2 of the most dangerous words in the English language.

Lot of different versions of "On The Road Again", decided to go with this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmWNkenPncs

Let me guess: no one told Sarah that taking the train was an option?

Ha, I remember these moments... Thank God for GPS Mobile Apps :) Sad that I used to be pretty good at directions but GPSs have ruined me, which is bad because they're not always reliable. Anyway, Great Looking Page!

...oh!, and you never said before one of the tapes was ABBA! AAarrrggh! Someone could DIE on that trip! B-)

Yeah, plus in USA,Canada and Oz, once you're out of the main cities you can just cruise on the limit (or..heaven forbid 10-15km above like my wife and I..um..might). I found going back all "arse-about-face" where daytime traffic anywhere was mostly a pain in the arse, whereas driving up the M4 late night/early hours to Heathrow was nearly deserted - where were all the trucks? Here I live near our M1 and you can hear trucks and cars 24/7, these days
