But dude. ALL the places are like that. It's about the journey..not the destination.
You must get a day off from whatever you do, right? Fill the tank and go. Turn on the roads that are calling you. Stop when you feel the urge. You won't miss. It's a guaranteed win.
That's how my ex-wife and I used to spend our vacations. No plans. Now I go to the mountains every weekend. It's impossible to not have a good time. Even when something happens that sucks.
Come on bro. This is the time of life that you HAVE to get in the car alone and go. You might not always have that chance and it's too important to pass up. Take it from an older guy. Work and home has it's place. But it's only one part of the game.
