I MORE than understand what that's like - we live 18hrs away from the nearest city so it's so the sort of trip we have to do several times a year for major shopping. <br /><br />As to sticking to the speed limit... I'm afraid I'm with Tom on that one. We usually sit around 10kph over when we're within 50kms of town but when we're on the 600km stretch between our town and the next (with nothing in between), we're typically doing about 25-35kph over just to GET there faster.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294068266525262150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-62409702029115483952011-10-24T21:40:38.040-06:002011-10-24T21:40:38.040-06:00See? it was a bonding experience for you all. now,...See? it was a bonding experience for you all. now, what is this about going the speed limit?

I do all the driving, and my husband is the nervous Nelly...every time I drive different than what the GPS says, he freaks...even though it's the same route I travel every single time we drive from NY to MA and back. And if we get lost...forget about it! <br /><br />Glad you all made it in once piece and there was no deranged killer that came across your path.

(On the other hand, I wouldn't take my husband on a 16-hour road trip because he can't sit still that long.) And P.S., I stopped flashing the finger when there began to be shootings because of road rage.
