If you wanna read a cool road book in your vacation, you should get "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac. Read it in English, it's one of those books that can't be translated. Flåklypa Grand Prix is my favorite movie btw >:)<br /><br /><a href="http://cold-as-heaven.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Cold As Heaven </a>CA Heavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558100567878233142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-83139238800375157052010-07-28T22:43:07.696+02:002010-07-28T22:43:07.696+02:00Boonsong - hurry!

And you had me in stick shifts with your clutch comment (THIS is me clutching at straws...)<br /><br />Nicole - roadtrips are the best! Ours have a nasty tendency to become awfully "winged", though - even today's which had a destination ended up being totally random. We didn't make it to the museum at all, we only drove around in whatever direction came to mind. Still a good trip, though :)<br /><br />Sue - my, you are the QUEEN of roadtrips! I felt like I had driven for a YEAR or so today (and we only covered about 300 kilometres - but many of them of really narrow, terrible roads, so it felt longer than necessary). Enjoy your roadtrip and roadtrip music too (must check that album out!) - the "Sunshine Coast" sounds so nice! <br /><br />Jan - then I'll skip right over and check out your photos. I didn't really take any today, since my friend had a new camera and I gave her the honour ;) I'd love to go road tripping in another country (well, technically that's what I always do, since we tend to go to Sweden, but that's so close it almost doesn't count). Driving across Canada (or the US, or Australia, or many other countries, I am sure) sounds great. <br /><br />Jemi - I really did (we always do). We didn't do a lot of sightseeing today, but then again, we're supposed to spend most of the time on the <i>road</i>, no? ;)<br /><br />Jennee - I think the soundtrack is half the experience. There was a terrible moment today when we thought the CD player was broken, but fortunately it was just temporarily cranky. <br /><br />Mohamed - wow, thank you so much! And I can't help but blush a little (a lot) here - you think of this blog as trendy?! Thanks again! :)<br /><br />Alex - high five stick shift! I drove (sorry, rode) an automatic for a short while, and even though that was fun, it certainly didn't feel "right". When I got back to a "normal" car, though, I almost killed the car by trying to shift gears without clutching... Yeah, not a healthy habit! <br /><br />Rosie - I'm so honoured! Another award! Thanks so much! And there would have been pictures. But as I mentioned a few paragraphs up here - my friend did most of the picture taking today. I should look through my old files to see if there are any blog proofed pictures there, though...Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-52360183343116357572010-07-28T21:13:35.873+02:002010-07-28T21:13:35.873+02:00Sounds like fun.

Think that is because my dad was in the air force so we moved every couple of years and the summers we didn't move we still went on road trips. Canada is BIG! Once we went on a 22 day camping trip from Ottawa to Quebec to Vermont and Maine and then up to New Brunswick and across to PEI on the ferry. Oh it was fun!Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-78751218020305601982010-07-28T11:27:18.581+02:002010-07-28T11:27:18.581+02:00I can so relate to this post Cruella.

It's pretty much what we're doing at the moment, which is why internet is patchy (We have a lot to achieve in the line of decent coverage down here) <br /><br />We've done close to 2000km and are in Brisbane (Queensland Australia) and going further north on Friday and exploring 'The Sunshine Coast' for the next week or so. <br /><br />Favourite music is from "The Dish" (that wonderful movie about the Apollo 11 mission) and we sang loudly and out of tune when driving past where it was filmed in central New South Wales.<br /><br />There's nothing quite as good as a road trip with a kindred spirit.<br /><br />Enjoy!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715879775216108688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-34694900890894765292010-07-28T10:45:47.911+02:002010-07-28T10:45:47.911+02:00So envious!
