I’ve always been in love with the road. There’s simply nothing like cruising down a dark deserted highway not knowing where you are or where you’re going and not really caring either. I’ve been trying to instill this love of freedom in my daughter, Z, as well. Read these posts to see how it’s going…

Rover’s Been Kidnapped!
Posted on August 25, 2008 - Filed Under Police, Road Trippin' | Leave a Comment
Trucknapped? Bronconapped? Whatever! He’s being held for ransom by an unscrupulous mechanic named Mike at Bill’s Custom Transmission here in Morgan Hill. You can read the whole sordid story over on my Morgan Hill blog, but the short version is that the guy’s had my Bronco for almost a week, I know nothing more about the transmission problems it is…
Paul McCartney Stole My Car!

Regular readers have frequently heard me mention Rover, my 1989 Ford Bronco. When I needed a “new” car, Z and I decided to get something large, despite the extra gas costs, so we could be comfortable on road trips. Rover filled the bill so well that we no longer actually go road tripping. Instead, we go ‘Rover Tripping’.
We love Rover (despite the…
Who Says You Can’t Cuddle On The Road?

The only thing Z and I enjoy more than road trippin’ is Saturday morning cuddle time. We curl up together, each wrapped in a fuzzy blanket and watch whatever classic cartoon series that I’ve decided to indoctrinate her with (currently Hong Kong Phooey). Alas, it has been difficult to combine these two loves. We did start taking along the laptop to…
Car Rental For $1 A Day? Now, That’s An Advantage!
Posted on July 10, 2008 - Filed Under Road Trippin', Travel | Leave a Comment
Working so many hours I find myself seeking more and more interesting vacation ideas. These days my most frequent problem isn’t paying for the vacation itself, but losing the time at work (working in social services provides zero traditional benefits like sick/vacation time). This, of course, means I need to fly to places instead of drive, which leaves me stuck with…
World’s Largest Visitor Center? I Think Not!
Posted on May 14, 2008 - Filed Under Road Trippin' | Leave a Comment
As my regular readers know Z and I love to road trip. To me part of the joy of road trippin’ is finding all the great local spots that the tourists normally miss. After all, isn’t that what travel is supposed to be all about? One of the resources we use to find interesting unadvertised attractions is local visitor’s centers.…
Adventures Of The Seat Of My Pants

No, I didn’t use the wrong preposition in that title. I’m not gonna share some close call that I narrowly avoided, rather I want to follow the tack of “If Only These Pants Could Talk”.
I intentionally packed light for my recent cross country trip for two reasons: 1) I didn’t want to have to check any baggage, and 2) I…
Catching A Flight To A Road Trip?
Posted on April 30, 2008 - Filed Under Road Trippin', Travel | Leave a Comment
Trying to figure out this summer road trip with gas prices climbing and climbing is driving me absolutely nuts. However I may have stumbled upon a rather unique solution this afternoon - fly somewhere then rent a car. Yeah, I know it sounds a bit crazy to take a plane on a road trip, but here me out.
The process is…
More Road Trip Contemplations
Posted on April 29, 2008 - Filed Under Road Trippin', Travel | Leave a Comment
Z and I are still trying to work out the plans for our summer road trip. If gas keeps going up at its current rate we’re probably going to have to limit both the amount of time and the miles logged. But if it can hold or (never gonna happen) decrease then we’re still hoping to head all the way…
