Leaving...
 

....home for a few days, time for the annual family trip down south. This year, however, we're back to taking one car (yikes) AND it looks like the weather's going to be fine, so no getting stuck in Branson in the middle of the drive down.

Happy Holidays to all, see you later....

Tootles! Be safe!

Drive fast!:)

Drive SAFE!!

Have a great visit!

MERRY CHRISTMAS DA!!

*hugs*
teddy :) :)

dadaist,

Bon voyage!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hurry back.

Happy Holidays and be safe!

ah shucks...... not gonna get stuck here huh? I can think of worse fates. :) As you drive thru Branson on Hwy 65, as you approach Bee Creek Road... if you suddenly have a spontanious orgasm... I get the credit :) Afterall.. from that exit (during the day) I am only a breath away... Have a wonderful trip.. Hugs..

When traveling with the family in one car,I find the best place to be is on the running board.heh heh Have a great trip and a Happy Holiday.

Au revoir and bon voyage!

Dadaist, here's wishing you a wonderful trip and the most joyous of holidays! :D

(BTW...That goes for all of you Pixies that will find themselves away from home for the season!)

I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again

Dadaist..Happy Holidays!! Obey posted speed limits!!!

Stopped on the way down outside Ft. Leonard Wood, at a Cracker Barrel, and on the way back ...I'm trying to remember where we stopped for gas. Somewhere between Joplin and Springfield on 44. Whole family both times, both during the 11 hour trips. Maybe if I get a chance to go solo somewhere again, I'll stop and buy people lunch. Or something.

I didn't drive either direction. It was left (dramatic chord) to my Father.

Which ...isn't really a problem, if he'd stick to the PAVED HIGHWAYS AND NOT GO ON SCENIC DETOURS </rant>

I feel better now.

ELEVEN hours with your family? ONE WAY?

My uncle loves to go on scenic detours and my cousin still hasn't recovered, I feel your pain!

Welcome back:)




(somebody still drove too fast.) :rolleyes:

Considering the posted speed limits in Arkansas and Missouri are both 70 mph, 11 hours is about right for making that trip (which is not quite 700 miles).

On the plus side, my parents got one of the minivans with a DVD player, and so we watched the Blue Man Group concert DVD (The Complex) for a bit, but I also attempted to listen to things I wanted to listen to on my CD player, but got drowned out by the Chieftains or my mother's Christmas CDs in the van's stereo, even with the fade dial set to front speakers only. Oh well - it's over. But I guess that counts as a compromise.

It's a hard life sometimes dadaist.;)

Well sorry to hear about your Mother drowning out your tunes, but I am very glad to hear that you made it back safely. :D

Yes, I guess you could say all's well that ends well for another 12 months.
