There is nothing like getting into a car and driving off to a place you never been. I don't need no directions. I will find my own way back. It's the thrill of the adventure that keeps me going.
I do it every year, I like being a "stranger in a strange land". One year I threw a dart at a map of the US and drove two days to eastern PA, the next year, Bisbee Az just for the hell of it.
