Holiday Travel

Right about now I miss the train. It is a highly underrated pleasure to be able to sit contentedly while someone else does the driving. I love being able to sit and read, watch the scenery, play cards, or just take a cat nap while traveling from one place to the next. Moving 4 1/2 hours away from friends and family tends to make you cranky about travel. I'm not saying it's the worst thing ever. I am lucky to not have children when traveling. I can choose my own music and sing along with it at the top of my lungs if I so choose, and lets face it that's what I do. But every now and then I'd like to be able to gawk. So this Thanksgiving don't expect to hear me volunteering to drive. I'll be driving on Wednesday and Sunday. That's it. Thursday's trip to Wisconsin and back will see me in the passenger side seat gawking out the window at absolutely nothing!
