On the Road Again!?!

I am frequently asked if I get tired of always traveling.  Are you kidding me?!? Who doesn't enjoy a good ol' fashion road trip across South Dakota!?! Especially during the week of the famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally...

I am not complaining in the least.  I was headed east; the bikes were headed west.  The sun was shining and I had my radio blasting (satellite radio is about all the works between Exits 110 and 192).  That is, after I made a few phone calls using my hands-free option in my car.  I have nothing but time on my hands when I am driving from town to town.  That is until the bars on my phone indicate that there is no cell tower and the satellite radio becomes mundane. But never fear because there are always books on tape/CD/downloaded/etc.  

I enjoy seeing the people who get pulled over for some traffic violation.  It is most enjoyable when it is the person who just passed me going 120 mph, but that moment of sweet karma seldom happens.  I also get the chance to see what new cars people are buying and who is traveling from where.  License plates adorn the interstate and highways all the way from Alaska to Florida and from Maryland to California.  I get to have my own traveling bingo and I don't have to share the prize with anyone!


The best part of driving alone to the next destination...reflection time.  It seems like I have enough time to reflect on the way things are going and how to prepare for the meeting I am heading to.  I get a chance to really think about how to handle a complicated or not-so-complicated situation.  It's my time with no television, limited cell phone service, and just a few motorcycles.

It is all in how you perceive ALL THAT TRAVEL!
