I want to get away. [I Need a Road Trip]

I want to go on a road trip. I want to go to the beach, to the mountains, Florida, Maine, North Dakota, and California - then do it all again. I am so tired of staying home :/

Yes, road trips are one of the things I've missed so much during the past year. For me, exploring the South is my greatest love. Hopefully before long we'll be back on the road!

@Stereoguy The Galveston area is so beautiful, and I love the climate there---yes, even the humidity. Lots of growth in that area, though. So, I'm sure she would see lots of changes. Too, Florida is such an interesting state. You are fortunate to live there!

We went to Maine this week just to go somewhere cooler. I’m done staying home even if it’s risky. My sanity requires travel

@BiasForAction we are at the coast. Supposed to come tomorrow. But the Ida is to pass north of us and bring some thunder storms, so we came today.
@Jill1990 ida will get to me Thursday I’m counting on the rain being over by Friday. Hope you enjoyed sun today
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@BiasForAction Didn’t get here till 4. Thursday should be nice here. It’s supposed to go down to 54 Friday night at home in Apex.

@Jill1990 used to be fun abroad before Covid.
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@Montanaman I was in Windsor Canada briefly as a child and the Bahamas, again as a child. Other than that, I was Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Michigan, but mostly in NC.
Montanaman · M
@Jill1990 Been to all those places. Worked in Texas for 2 months on oil rigs. 🙄 Lived in Michigan for 10 years. Then my heart sent me to New Mexico for 7 years.💖 Now Montana. 😎🤠

I'm not gonna front I feel the exact same way. Are you gonna do it or is it just a idea right now
Mk8155 · M
Come visit the outer banks of NC. Gorgeous empty beaches
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@Mk8155 I’d love to. I’m from NC and have been to the outer banks half a dozen times I guess. It’s just so far to go.
Outdoorfreedom · 56-60, M
We have. Road trips are fun.
SW-User

@melbeacher surely would feel good today.
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@Stereoguy lots of guys from Florida :). Sun and fun :)
SW-User
You are a wonderful person to be around. You make other people happy. You are unique.
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@SW-User :)
SW-User
So what is the holdup? Vacation time... Covid? Schedule? Just curious.
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@SW-User well, I’m married and my husband works. Covid has kept us from even having a vacation this year. I was mostly venting a little steam. Wish I could tho.
SW-User
@Jill1990 Yes, of course. Totally understand. My wife and I both work... so coordinating the schedule is a challenge.
.. I hope you and your husband find the right time.
walabby · 61-69, M
Come DownUnda and drive from Perth to Cairns. None of your friends would have done that! :)
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@walabby I’m pretty sure youre right about that.
WorldTraveler19 · 31-35, M
Good options! Maine is beautiful!
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@WorldTraveler19 so I hear. Never been there tho.
WorldTraveler19 · 31-35, M
@Jill1990 I'd recommend Spring since it gets very cold during winter.

I want to head south for the winter. I need some vitamin D
DavyPNW · 56-60, M
@Jill1990 I don't think it could be worse
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@DavyPNW I agree - the only way is up :)
DavyPNW · 56-60, M
@Jill1990 my trip to Palm Springs in December got canceled due to the stay at home order in California. I am now shooting for March.
I did, but it kinda sucked. all the remote places seem to be filled up with people having the same notions.

river52 · 70-79, M
you are not alone in those thoughts......under normal circumstances, do you get to do road trips often?
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@river52 Looks like a beautiful place anyway and it will be nice to get out of town :)
river52 · 70-79, M
@Jill1990 hope you post about it.....
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@river52 I will do that.
North Dakota has neither beach nor mountains, why there?
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@Stereoguy omg it’s so hot here. 110 heat index.

Rambler · M
Same... had plans and not happening :(
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@Rambler I’m getting better taking care of my plants. That’s something. Well, to the plants anyway.
Rambler · M
@Jill1990 lol True, there's that. But I thought by remaining still, I'd find inner peace... nah. ;)
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@Rambler haha - nah

That sounds good to me. I am wondering how fearful people have now become about travelling, in effect becoming prisoners to a virus.

That all sounds amazing. I can't wait for the end of Covid, to get out and see the world again.
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@Thespis probably next year but not as long as it has been.

Try that Florida route, hit the cities and the space center.
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@openwater I like the Florida beaches.
Golfer · 61-69, M
Vacationing down in LA this week....so nice!
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@Golfer That sounds like fun. I need a vacation.
Golfer · 61-69, M
@Jill1990 Go for it! Doing the whole mask thing ...but the beaches are great!
SW-User
I get that. Feeling a little hemmed in currently
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@SW-User caged
Pensacola Beach, Navarre Beach and Destin are excellent
Dev1ant · 41-45, M

Florida is hot in August.
And humid most of the year.
Come on down to Tennessee!!
lovingdead · 31-35, M
Do it, give in to wanderlust
this sounds like a good idea. My wife and I have time--we could take an extended road trip if we want. I shall ask her.

Saaaaaaammmee
I spent most of my life in Florida, practically lived at the beach, also lived in the mountains and it was breathtaking but now I live out in the countryside surrounded by creeks, woods and it's so peaceful. I have seen so many animals and birds and I love it.

I bet. Me too
jackson55 · M
Then go for it. I travel between Arizona and California often. No Issues.
jackson55 · M
@Jill1990 Do you have kids at home? I'm past that stage.
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@jackson55 no, I cannot bear children. It’s just the two of us.
jackson55 · M
@Jill1990 Can't take off on your own? I know what you mean by staying home. We were home for most of March and April only going out once in awhile.
MtnManJohn · 56-60, M
@Jill1990 sounds like you need to plan a weekend camping getaway. The best place for social distancing is in the great outdoors.
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@MtnManJohn we have done quite a bit of that bit just locally. We just bought a camper and getting it ready fir some longer trips.
