Roadtrip

[rodgeam]

So being a hotel employee I get two free nights anywhere there are vacancies in dec, plus more nights at a discounted cost. I've never been to ny and my friends and i are considering a roadtrip the weekend before Christmas. Alabama to NYC... 17 hours drive according to mapquest, plus 6 hours from nyc to buffalo for a day, plus another day crossing the boarder to canada possibly, and then back home. It's 1000 miles each way from al to nyc. plus everywhere else we go. but driving and splitting the gas would be cheaper than flying and we could see more of the country. Does this sound too crazy?

Makes sense. Are you able to share that with a family member.

 

[kingoffools13]

If you stop in Chicago I'll buy you a beer.

If you don't drink I'll buy me a beer and you can watch me drink it.

Does that offer apply to all who stop in Chicago?

Road trips are fun when you're with the right people. I'd just say watch out for a substance we have in the north called snow.

 

[Teufelhund]

17 hours is nothing, in order to really have a road trip, you need to be double seatbelted to your siblings driving from California to Ft. Lewis.

sure does.

 

[plum]

Yeah, that's one problem... I've lived in AL all my life. Never driven in snow. Not one bit of snow. Or ice. Just how much snow might there be at that time of year? Would my car need anything different for driving in snow/ice?

You two are adorable. I've decided that you two need to just get married already.

road trips I'm a fan of giving yourself enough time to get out of the car. Do you think you'd have that?



PS to Spicy: so generous of you to offer to buy us all drinks! So who's coming??

I wouldn't want to do that to him. This kind of misery should come after 10 years or more at least

Hahaha. I still think you two are adorable... errr. together. Two peas man.

well, let's not get crazy with the dirnk thing. Lets just say that yes I'd buy one for any CFer that stopped by the 'Cago.u

 

[BoazB]

Say, ... has anyone seen the movie "Route 66" ?

Snow tires. Probably a scraper to get any snow and ice off your windshield. Also, knowledge of how to drive in snow/ice. That would be 1) don't panic and 2) avoid any sudden movements.
