Today’s Bloganuary prompt is:
What is a road trip you would love to take?
Going anywhere with good friends is a treasure. But road trips aren’t my favorite. Mainly because I don’t enjoy driving (that’s what living in a city for 25 years with no car will do to you) and riding as a passenger lulls me to sleep immediately.
Walking, however, is another story. I love walking. I love the rhythm of walking, the ability to take so much in. You move slowly enough that the details don’t escape you. My favorite manner of walking is walking without a schedule. Meandering and allowing the day to unfold. There are a couple of walks in the United Kingdom that have piqued my interest – the Coast to Coast, the walk along Hadrian’s Wall. And once there, I’m sure I would discover many more.
For now, though, I’m happy walking the trails of the Blue Ridge Mountains when I can sneak away, or walking through Asheville neighborhoods and the Arboretum with Mom when I can’t.

Love this. I literally started mine saying, my favorite road trip would be a walking trip! And then I started thinking about past road trips and got all nostalgic, which took me in a whole other direction. So cool how writing can do that…
One of the road trips that stands out is when a group of 6 of us decided to road trip to Vegas from San Francisco. About an hour into the trip, we were already saying, “How much longer?” “Are we there yet?” 🙂
“Are we there yet?” 😂
I love walking too 🙂
We DO truly enjoy walking. But i have to admit i love driving, too. Road trips have been our only travel since we haven’t flown anywhere for the past couple years …
What was one of your favorite road trips during the pandemic, Michael?
We drove down to Southern California twice. ( We once lived in Long Beach). This allowed us to visit friends along the way down and back. And to get a dose of sunshine!
