Last month or so ago my GF and I roadtripped from the Southernmost point of the US (Key West) to the Northernmost point in NY (Plattsburgh). It wasn't a contiguous trip, we had to work, after all, but in the end we covered !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
I've been trying to figure out what to write about, which is why this "trip report" is so late. But honestly, it was rather non eventful. I could write about the vehicle:
2013 Toyota Tacoma - was a comfortable, if uninspiring ride. Able to carry 2.5 dogs (one is only 15 lbs, that barely qualifies) and 2 bikes and whatever random stuff. Umm, it drank a lot of gas? It really wasn't a very exciting vehicle,

I could give you a play by play of the stops, but do you really want to know about my parents joint 70-year old birthday surprise celebration? No. (But it was very lovely).

Here are some other things I gathered on the trip:

- New York City is all right ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ).
- Jet skiing in Lake Champlain can be dangerous:

Seriously though, it was a great couple of trips. I absolutely love driving on roadtrips and would take it over flying anytime. You really do miss a lot rushing place to place. Passing through all these little towns and places you don't see or think about adds up to a fantasti experience.
So go on! Get out there. And look out for Carrie Fisher.
