A Tank full of gas, and away we go

hi geminikid oh take me back to the Black HIlls, the Black Hills
'of south Dakota and mt rushmore, and harneys peak, and spearfish creek, and custers peak, and Custers state park, and the badlands and my old home town Newell South Dakota that would be first, then if I had oodles of money I would go to the land of Ireland where my gr gr gr grandparetns came from Derry Ireland and find out more about them. I have never been to Ireland and I grew up on the sD prairie close to a small town Newell S.D. so take me home country roads.

Neat! If gas prices weren't so high, I would love to take long road trips!!

My most longest road trip was probably just before I started kindergarten! My aunt had come from another country and my dad wanted to show her California (and a bit of Nevada). We literally went from North to South - and even down to Mexico City (not in CA, but in Mexico of course - hee hee). I remember many of the stops here and there all across California, but as I was so young, I didn't appreciate traveling back then as I do now!

There is still a lot of traveling we'd like/need to do! But if we're talking road trips to revisit, I'd like a chunk of time to do the whole California trip again. It's considered local for us, but it'd be neat take my family on the same journey as I went on a young age.

Sounds like when I was a kid....My parents took us every summer somewhere different. I've been to all the states (Hawaii & Alaska were after I was older & moved out from the parents) I kind of miss doing all the traveling and wish I'd have been older for some of the things, I really didn't appreciate seeing and doing as much as I could or should have.
I have promised my youngest son for the last four years or so that I would take him to see the ocean. This past summer we packed up and went to Washington,DC and then NC for a week. It was nice to take him there, he's old enough that he appreciated it and wants to go back there to live. I ended up taking him to Virginia and Tennessee, too and now all he wants to do is go, go, go!!
You are right though, there are things I missed seeing and doing on the trips when I was a kid and would go back to see them again. Funny thing is, when you go back, things never are like you remember they were!!

i would definitely like to travel to but i have no one to accompany in my trip. so that is why i just stay at home. it is true that traveling takes away some worry off our mind and kind relaxes us and has this therapeutic effect on us. i love traveling. the only time i am able to travel long trips is when my family plan a long trip. but besides it, i have no friend who can tag along with me for my own travel without the family.

Sure does. Especially the fact that you tank is full and so are you pockets full of money. Besides, we generally take these type luxuries during vacations so there's nothing really to worry about work and stuff like that. That's what makes it more relaxing.

I've been to Kaghan Naaran twice. It's a terrain full of mountains here in Pakistan It's very beautiful. It's a real pleasure to see it. I enjoyed more the second time because I was with my friends and got to climb up the glaciers real high this time.

I have some pictures of that trip on my facebook.

i like to site see as well. when i was growing up, we went down to mrtyle beach and i really loved that trip. one year we also drove out to the east coast of canada and i really loved that trip too.
if i were to take a trip now, 1 )new york city (the history museums and MOMA 2) the east coast of canada (i possibly would NOT come back!!) and 3) paris!
we live about an hour north of niagara falls and go there at least once a year (especially at christmas when they have all the lights up - its pretty amazing!) i would also like to spend some time in Ottawa and in washington, dc (i would love to see the smithsonian!!)

I love traveling and think you are really right with it clearing your mind and adding to your sense of adventure. My favorite trip was in 2001 when I drove from Colorado to Maine. It was just me and the open road. No one was with me to share the adventure, but I learned more about myself on that trip then any other time in my life.

I have had so many road trips that I could go on forever with this discussion. Great times with friends and family. Now I have two little babies and can't wait to get back in the car with them in tow! Lots of roads trips in our future!

I like to travel so much that I am now a travel agent. (An independent agent, I don't work at a agency.) My longest trip was when I helped my aunt move back to Florida from California. Why? I have no clue. But I enjoyed seeing Arizona, New Mexico and developed an affinity for West Texas. (No, I'm not going to move next door to Bush.) I also discovered that I really enjoy Cajun food. If I had moved down there to be with my ex, I'd probably weigh a ton right now.

I'm tryign to set my life up so that these fun little trips are no longer so much of a pipe dream. I hate sitting in one place for too long. Also my friends and family are scattered across teh country and I'd like top visit them more.

I love to travel! Haven't been able to for many years. I would love to get back to San Fransisco, The Redwoods, Victoria Island in British Columbia, Canada. I have been in only 13 of our states so I have alot left to see. I still want to see the deep south and eastern states. There is an island off the Michigan coast that I have to see. It is where the movie Somewhere in Time was filmed. Where the Grand Hotel is located. Mackinac Island. I must see it. I am leaving in March to do some traveling and hope to get to California and also to alittle place right near the border of Oregon and California. It is a bed and breakfast with the bedrooms built like treehouses. Can you believe it? So I have alot a head to look forward to in the Spring.

New York is such a huge place and there is alot to see. Hope you make it back there and then come tell us all about it!

I love travelling by road. You get to see more and definitely, it is relaxing (except for the driver who has to keep his eyes on the road). My last one was ages ago in 1991. Travelling from D.C. (my high school friend lives and works there) to New York, I got to see other states like MD, VA. Delaware, PA. I have to convince my husband to do the same as I did with my friend and this time do FL to NV (where my sister lives). I'm sure we will see a lot on the way.
