Had a conversation with a friend recently about driving long distances and I just realized that while I do drive often, I don’t often drive very far. I think the furthest I’ve ever personally driven is I think Mountain View, which is only about 35 miles away from where I live. Obviously I’ve been to places a lot farther than that, but I was never the one behind the wheel. The only place away from the Daly City area that I can think of that I’ve driven to a lot is San Mateo, mostly because I went to CSM for all those years. I think part of the reason I don’t drive very long distances is because I drive a van and let’s face it, vans don’t get very good gas mileage. Anyways, my friend was saying that I should make it a goal to take a long road trip and I think that’s a great idea. Maybe over the summer I’ll finally take a long distance road trip… and actually be the person behind the wheel for the drive.
