Is that round trip timing or one-way? If it’s round trip, maybe. Ideally there would be other things to do in the area to make it worthwhile.

Yes but only if the town it’s in has other stuff I want to see and do and/or a really cool boutique hotel. I’m not driving 4 hours one way to somewhere ugly and boring then have to stay at a Holiday Inn.

To echo some others, I would, I’d make it a weekend vacation/overnight. I’m a foodie. If it’s in a neat neighborhood a few other key stops before or after would be a good draw to round out my afternoon/evening - bonus if there’s a good breakfast place the next day.

No but it’s not about us. Do what makes you happy

Not a foodie. Hell no.

Yes!!! Road trips are the best. Unplug.

Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
