How to take a road trip with friends by SlayneB

"It was fun, helped our friendships, and gave us a break from the norm!"

How I did it: Talked to a couple of friends, one of which lives 400 miles away.  We decided to meet in the middle, where there was a ren-faire.  We  booked a room and traveled, and checked into the room and it cost less than 20 a person for the room.

We had a great time at the faire, my one friend flirted like crazy, while we married gals were more subdued. Had a faboulous dinner, and like the nerds we are, were asleep by 11 pm.  Next day, long brunch, road back over the Florida Everglades, and happy memories. We talked about our hopes, dreams, and gave many hugs and warm compliments to each other.  The power of three!

We had decided to do this sort of trip every four months, as a change of season sort of thing with different locations.  What fun, and it cost me less than $100 US!

Lessons & tips: Plan out, make reservations, and do it even tho your significant other might not be too happy.  It is important to have a balance in life, and friendships are part of that.

Then when you get back home, you can show the love!

    Okay 5 months ago

    We are ready for this weekend. Now the hard part (for me):
    *Don’t Blurt Out
    *Don’t give advice
    *Be gracious
    *Practice the four agreements/Dale Carnegie

    This is going to be practice for me to be smooth and nice and non-controlling. Bring it on!

    Another reason I am looking forward 6 months ago

    to this trip is that it will be a great opportunity to work on some of my goals here: “be a better friend”, “listen better”, “don’t give advice”, “don’t blurt anything out” for some examples. What an adventure emotionally and spiritually as well!

    Plans are jellin' 6 months ago

    I’m planning a trip with two of my girlfriends in January. Hubby cool with idea, as I’ll only be gone two days one night. One friend lives four hundred miles away and we’ll all meet in the middle. I’ll ride with the other friend as she lives close.

    I am so looking forward to this.

    Roadtrip! 8 months ago

    Its been awhile since I have gone on a road trip with friends and I miss it terribly. I used to go out on my own but I can’t do that anymore. Besides, I miss the camaraderie, mess, laughter and silliness that accompanies along trip with friends.
