Let's share Travels and Drives.

I bought my Blue Plymouth Horizon, from a guy that lived about one mile from me. He took good care of the vehicle, and showed me all the service records.

Later, I decide to go on a One-Week drive vacation. So with my 4 speed manual and 4 cylinders, I am leaving California.

First stop Yellowstone National Park.
Then, it’s off to the Oshkosh Fly-in airshow.
I stop in Tennessee to see my parents.
Then, head to Miami to visit my cousins.
And then, the long, long drive through Texas to California.

This trip was circa 1980, when I was younger and more energetic. And driving solo without any female, I did not have to stop to eat at restaurants. In the morning, I would go to the local supermarket and buy some bagels, trial mix, and ½ gallon of orange juice. And I could travel all day long. And that is how I did this trip on a One Week vacation time from work.

Today, being older with automatic transmissions, you would have to pay me greatly, for me to travel that distance in one week. (Today after two hours of driving, I do not mind stopping). And after that road trip, putting that many miles on my personal car, I decided car rentals was my future.
