As I dont have much luck with just driving and hoping that I oould find the way :) <br /><br />Amazing picutres - love the church.<br /><br />Moving takes time! And moving home takes too much cleaning :)<br /><br />Cheers<br />Lisalisasdreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16686232441165927141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248234664769686290.post-32821632016359376562011-09-02T16:14:55.105-05:002011-09-02T16:14:55.105-05:00I love road trips, and I'm a big jealous, sinc...I love road trips, and I'm a big jealous, since I haven't been on a real road trip since February. Just being on the road makes me happy. Yeah, I know, I'm weird.<br /><br />Anyway, what you describe in your post during your detour through Dallas is called "taking the scenic route". It has been my experience that taking the scenic route is usually more rewarding than it is an inconvenience.<br /><br />Elaine<br /><br />P.S. I really am enjoying the music you have up.littlemissattitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826943351455750612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248234664769686290.post-49051635891506958262011-09-01T15:05:22.743-05:002011-09-01T15:05:22.743-05:00Hello Friend, I was thinking about you the other d...Hello Friend, I was thinking about you the other day wondering how the move was going! I've been away from the blog world!<br /><br />I know that McDonald's quite well! I use to drive from Stillwater to Chicago all through college!! You need to take your kids into it. It use to be billed at the World's largest!<br /><br />I was wondering like your brother about driving and taking pictures! I can't fuss because I have been known to do the same thing.<br /><br />Although on this last 26 hour road trip to WDW, I had a designated texter and photo taker, but she wasn't a very good photo taker for me! Missed most of the shots I wanted! Oh well, we survived the the 52 hour (round trip) ordeal with 2 cars and 4 kids. <br /><br />I only drink water, gave up caffeine 6 years ago. I grew up drinking Tab and Diet Rite Cola, if I can give up pop, anyone can give it up! I always stock the car with lots of treats for the kids but my favorite is Twizzlers and Swedish fish!<br /><br />Hope you are getting the family settled in new surroundings.<br /><br />Hugs to all,<br />CarrieCozyflierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01246670931088678205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248234664769686290.post-17810047773519105452011-09-01T08:26:57.958-05:002011-09-01T08:26:57.958-05:00I LOVE audio books!

Driving from TX to SD when I lived there I didn't have cruise control so spent a lot of time practicing keeping an even pace and listening to my cassettes. But, now when I am in the US I go to the public library and check out as many audio books as they will allow and enjoy a good story while I drive.<br /><br />Hope the weekend goes well for you!Shan in Japanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467051065525879573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248234664769686290.post-7189038543661178552011-09-01T07:41:21.661-05:002011-09-01T07:41:21.661-05:00Its a good thing you like driving Annemarie and I ...Its a good thing you like driving Annemarie and I am glad there aren't many/any roundabouts in the USA because you would probably roar right through them like you did in Norway....LOL.<br /><br />It is strange being the "leader" who doesn't know where they are going...that made me laugh!<br /><br />Music is my best friend when I am driving short distances or long distances and singing!<br /><br />Take care on the road my friend and I hope all goes well with the clean up. Put some music on while you are cleaning, it helps.<br /><br />Big hugs<br />Peg xxxxxxmiruspeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980477108868960140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248234664769686290.post-15798076102955527622011-09-01T03:12:29.890-05:002011-09-01T03:12:29.890-05:00Eleven hours of driving would take me to, uhmmmm, ...Eleven hours of driving would take me to, uhmmmm, Portugal? Marocco??? Thinkie pointed it out already - Holland is too small for 'long drives'. I think going to my parents is a 'long drive' (2 hours) and I play music in the car and sing along (if I'm alone, ONLY if I'm alone) or listen to the radio or talk to my beloved. My son usually puts on his earphones to listen to his own music... Good luck on your last trip dear one!Marithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274311778326853533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248234664769686290.post-1057587144830253202011-08-31T18:58:29.994-05:002011-08-31T18:58:29.994-05:00I tell you what I DON'T on a long road trip: t...I tell you what I DON'T on a long road trip: take a picture with my camera phone with one hand while holding a beverage in the other WHILE driving 70 mph (I'll give you 70... with parallax error it's probably closer to 75) down the highway! Be careful sister.

The kind to sing to. I'm not a driver (as I'm prone to napping) so I gotta keep actively alert!<br /><br />Happy end-of-moving!MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010547516401501448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248234664769686290.post-68667932705712379552011-08-31T14:30:53.672-05:002011-08-31T14:30:53.672-05:00Are you saying there are no round-abouts in the US...Are you saying there are no round-abouts in the US?! There are endless amounts of them here in the Netherlands.<br />We probably have a different understanding of long distances here ;-) Many Dutches drive to France or Italy for their summer holiday, or to the Alpes for skiing. We only made it to Luxemburg, and some adjoining parts of Germany and Belgium. Our best friend lives about two hours away by car, that's our usual 'long distance' drive. We bring a cd (and if we forget we play my mum's gothic rock cd's that she keeps in the car, we don't have a car of our own but sometimes borrow hers) and sometimes I kick off my shoes and put them on the dashboard. Water and sometimes a snack on hand. I just doze or watch the pastures and nature reserve we pass, I'm only a pasenger since I don't have a drivers license. We often take a walk somewhere along the way.Thinkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940128890418208443noreply@blogger.com
