did you know that Montreal is only 10ish hours from Detroit? i did not. i also did not know new york was 10ish hours from Detroit. all this time and i didn't know my road trip potential from Detroit. places i've gone from Detroit:
Calgary- obviously. 36 hours of not so bad scenery... once you hit Saskatchewan you can welcome boredom into your life.
Chicago- on the way to Calgary, as well as a few times separately for business. 5ish hours away. why this hasn't been milked more is beyond me.
Colorado Springs- a perilous journey when taken lightly. 20ish hours of suckitude, often Nebraska taking far too long because once your there, your THERE. all in flatness and boring for several hours.
Indiana (Taylor U, Purdue)- 4-6 hours of pleasant corn fields and the perfect drive to get to know someone. deeply. musically.
there are more, an fewer and far less talked about because its almost unnecessary (cedar point, timberwolf lake, where ever we ended up 9 hours away from whilst camping...). so it seems i've had some dang decent trips. but not bold enough. leaving anywhere from Michigan within 6 hours is a solid drive. (nothing like the rockies, but that's rare an awesome.) i need to step it up when i get home. take advantage of mid-eastern US potential. plus the huge trip there alone. i've never spent 36 hours in a car with myself.
places i must at least attempt:
Toronto- its only 4 hours away. i've flown through, but never been outside the airport.
Ottawa- why not.
obviously Montreal or new york.
Philadelphia- another why not.
maybe my wanderlust is spiked at the prospect of bein at home for a whole month. eeee. gas prices depending. i may just have to see some of the east.

I really love Toronto. Probably because it still has that romantic unlived in feel to me. It's grungy like Seattle...so, amazing
