Cool stuff:
Hitting the road feels like freedom
Cranking up the tunes and feeling the breeze in your hair
Checking out the ‘Big’ everythings along the way (Banana, Prawn, Pineapple etc)
Keeping an eye out for antique vehicles that have shows on over Easter
Anticipation of good company and good times ahead
Snakes and Chupa Chups have no calories on road trips
The longer you drive the crazier the conversations get
Cheap motels and even cheaper red wine!
Crap stuff:
Packing, and unpacking, then packing and unpacking for the trip
Getting stuck behind slow moving vehicles
Junk food for breakfast, lunch and dinner (but at least clean toilets are guaranteed)Feeling the squeeze at the petrol bowser
Road works slowing you down
Sitting too long in the car gives you a numb bum
Google Maps getting you lost (inevitable)
Being pried out with a crowbar because my back is totally cactus by the time I reach my destination!
