So I am on a grand months-long sojourn across the entire continental United States (mostly the west coast because the family is there) and I've been enjoying the many and sundry wonders of this great nation
But also I've been bored stiff driving across interstates and wondering why anyone would ever go to New Mexico for any reason. Also I got food poisoning in a Waffle House in Texas when there was three inches of snow on the ground. It's been a weird couple of months!
Still, it's been a real fun experience, for the most part. There's something about the simple goals of a road trip, the clarity of purpose and (beyond holiday and family obligations) the freedom to go wherever you please that makes it different from flying somewhere and renting a car, y'know?
So in light of the scope of this journey I am on (and since Christmas is over now) I thought I'd make a thread where we could talk about traveling and vacations and stuff
Where have you been, SE++, and where do you hope to go?
...and also can you Seattle people tell me where to go because I don't know shit about anything around here. I guess the space needle is cool?? And there's casinos I guess???
