The daily prompt has asked me to – Think back on your most memorable road trip.

Okay, I did that. What a time. Most details are classified as are most of my memorable road trips with friends. We were young, our early 20s. Maryland to Daytona Beach Florida in my 74 Camaro with stops in Greenville SC and Vienna Ga on the way down. What I can say is that trip was the week the movie Animal House was released in 1978, and we saw it on the way down near Clemson University on day 2 of our 11-day adventure. The rest of the trip was spent topping that.

Some of the simplest road trips are the most pleasurable. These are with my better half and are so enjoyable. We have taken many road trips to Western Maryland and some to the Eastern shore of Maryland. Both very beautiful places. Sometimes day trips sometimes overnight. Sometimes a few days trip to different spots.

I think back to the memories of taking our children on vacations, mostly to the beach. I still can’t figure out how I packed all that stuff and people into a small car. But if the kids had a good time, it made our trip.

If it’s up to me, I prefer a road trip, no planes, ships, buses or trains. I don’t mind trains but the other three I can leave. I love to drive so road trips are my favorite form of travel.

This year I’m going to make a lot of road trips in the Miata. Mostly pointed east towards the shore but many other destinations also.

If I may add one thing. Could we all just try to get along on the roads and stop trying to kill each other for a car length or two advantage.
