I enjoy drives with my family.\u00a0\u00a0 We learned simple rules, like stop every 2 or 3 hours and stretch, get a snack, gas or a meal if needed, and back on the road.<\/p>\n
Our ‘long’ regular trip is from Plano Texas to Georgetown, South Carolina to visit my Wife’s family.\u00a0\u00a0 That tends to be a 20 hour drive.\u00a0 Some years we tried to do it in 2 parts, stopping overnight along the way.\u00a0 After bad experiences with hotel stays, we just decided that if you keep going eventually you get there.\u00a0 Now we leave home at 7 am and arrive there at 3 or 4 am the next day.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is a long driving day, but you end up with more vacation time at our destination in the bargain.<\/p>\n
Today we’re headed back from Indianapolis to Plano.\u00a0\u00a0 Hopefully it will take around 14 hours.\u00a0\u00a0 Compared to our South Carolina trips, the family thinks of this as a shorter trip lol.\u00a0\u00a0 But we’ll generally follow the same pace, stopping every couple of hours 0r as needed.<\/p>\n
On the way here we were regaled with Irish Drinking songs, but on the way back I suspect the singers will still be asleep most of the way.\u00a0 I am not sure when they finally got back to the hotel, but good that it was before we left!<\/p>\n
There is some promise of speech practice sessions, and of course the Cadillac has XM radio with plentiful choices for third party entertainments.\u00a0 Should be a fun driving day.\u00a0 After all, it’s only 14 hours.\u00a0\u00a0 If I can ever get everyone awake, and their stuff in the car, and on the road…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
