kageotogiHi everybody! (Hi, Doctor Nick!)
I'm going on a solo road trip later this month to Florida via Durham, North Carolina. It's going to be... Cripes. It's going to be a fifteen hour trip each way, if I'm lucky with the roads (hahahahaha) and if I don't stop to get gas or eat or anything. So that's fun. Thankfully, my way-via-Durham means I get to split the trip into two parts -- five+ hours one day, then ten+ hours to get to Florida.
For the record, the five+ hour drive doesn't worry me too much. Ten+? That's a lot of time to be in a car by myself. So I turn to you all. Any tips? What's the best way to spend ten+ hours in a car by my lonesome -- and to ensure I stay lucid long enough that I don't (a) drive off the road or (b) crash into anyone else? I'm thinking lots of books-on-tape and CDs, but if you happen to have any other ideas, let me know. I'm up for it.
Anyway, those're my plans. Exciting, huh? I basically figured that if the stupid weather wouldn't give me snow up here (although it is snowing today, which is great), then I might as well be warm(er) down there for a few days. Plus, I get to see people. All in all, it made sense to me.
Buhwork. >_< I have to bust my ass this week and next so I have less to catch up on when I get back from the SRT. We'll see how that goes.
