Ultimate Roadtrip: booked.

[talisman]

How do you people get so much time off of work? I get 2 weeks max, and that's accrued.

It's only 9 days, 4 of them on the weekend, so I'm only using 5 vacation days. I get 3 weeks off a year, and a personal day or two.

[Trip McNeely]

Well that's nice. That's usually the case for me, I have to take long weekends. The oilfield pretty much runs 24/7 on all sides of the spectrum. I still get emails and calls when I'm on vacation too.

I was in Austin a few years ago and got a phone call that my Assistant that was responsible for opening the store hadn't shown up. He called me an hour later and tried to give me a bullshit story and a metric fuckton of excuses. Shortly thereafter I had a new Assistant.

Sounds similar;

[Trip McNeely]

Sucks I know.

[Leah]

Sounds amazing! You're going to have a blast!

Danny is coming, and maybe another person or two. If they do, we'll likely rent a 2012 Dodge Challenger R/T as a secondary. The original plan was for 3 of us to rent the Mustang, Challenger, and a Camaro, but that is a lot of driving alone, and it isn't exactly cheap to rent, let alone triple the gas bill.

While in Arizona I'd consider a stop in Jerome and visit the Caduceus/Merkin tasting room.

Hopefully Danny doesn't get TOO lonely on Americas Loneliest Road.

Fly in to Los Angeles Sept 10th. Go to Hertz Counter. Pick up a 2012 Mustang GT. Proceed up the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco. Tour various filming locations of Bullitt, cross Golden Gate, etc. Proceed to Reno, Nevada. Lose some money. Drive across Nevada on Route 50, also known as the Loneliest Road in America. Many scenes from Vanishing Point were shot here. Top Gear BBC drove a Cadillac CTS-V, Corvette ZR1, and Dodge Challenger SRT across this stretch of emptiness in season 12, episode 2. Arrive in West Wendover, and proceed to the Bonneville Saltflats World of Speed races. Head south, to Arizona. See the Meteor crater outside Winslow, then head to The Grand Canyon. Proceed over the new bridge above the Hoover Dam and through Vegas to The Extraterrestrial Highway along side Area 51, and find The Black Mailbox. Get chased off by Men in Black. Back through Southern California and arrive at LAX to depart 9 days and roughly 2500 miles later. THIS IS GOING TO BE FUCKING AWESOME.

I need to ride shotgun to save you from getting numerous tickets.

[Baba Ganoush]

I'd skip the grand canyon. Its like $30 to see a big hole in the ground. I guess if it's on the bucket list.
I was standing at the rim, around a bunch of tourists and I said.....
"Why are we looking for more landfill space? Look at this!"


While you're in Cali, go south to Carmel and drive the 17 mile drive around pebble beach. Then head 10 miles out to Laguna Seca. Way worth it.

I plan on road tripping the country once the Chevelle is done... Go West one year, East another year, and North the next...

[Magnimike1]

It sounds like a load of fun.

That's what my family did every summer. We would go off for a month and take a different direction each time. My dad was a huge road trip guy.

I have a more deviant motive... well, as long as I'm single when I start driving.
