recipe for a good road trip.

ingredients:

-immense home/family sickness
-emily
-destination
-6 hours sleep (any less, you will die. (any more, you will also die.))
-little brother with magic sleep dust (one sprinkle and half hour of sleep will engage a solid 7 hour shift.)
-jedi powers
-a strong will to live.

instructions:

1) start your journey at 2 am, preferably after an exhausting night of several weepy goodbyes and a more perfect than perfect packing job.
2) put your junk in that box.
3) pretend you have more errands to run whilst still in the city and cherish was little time you have left.
4) venture into the darkness, expecting light flurries and rare traffic.
5) experience darkness, with suprising amount of traffic, and white knuckle conditions when passing large semi trucks.
6) continue for 5 hours.
7) pass on driving responsibility to the wee one, and use his special sleep dust to sleep soundly for 3-4 hours.
8) awaken with a thriving need to make the road 'your bitch'.
9) get made into a little girl by the road.
10) regain testosterone by driving with your nuts on the road, getting to the front of the line and not allowing stops for urination or food consumption.
11) get into trouble at the border because of suspicious little brother traveling activities. look suspicious because of your young age and probable association with marijuana.
12) strip search car.
13) flee with no reason to flee.
14) arrive in north dakota after 14 total hours of driving.
15) have dinner with grandparents of your fathers side.
16) drive to your mothers sisters house, enjoy some visiting and light tv watching and pass out at 8:30.
17) have the 2nd best sleep of your life and awaken after 8 hours to kick some road butt.
18) head towards the promise land of minnesota, rumoured to be better than ND.
19) enjoy the experience of realizing minnesota sucks just as much as ND, and revel in it for 11 hours of driving.
20) pass on responsibilities to the wee one, and again dose up on magic dust. (COCAINE!!!)
21) enjoy half hour of sleep, and 45 minutes of 45mph traffic in slush.
22) reach destination that was intended for instruction 19. eat arbys. but do not enjoy it.
23) regain driving responsibility, with renewed sense of wanting to be home and out of crappy driving weather.
24) make boasts of when you will be home. start off with the wee hours of morning, then get realistic when roads open up.
25) rub boast win into the face of the normally always correct wee one, and enjoy kicking 28 hours of driving in the face.
