The perfect holiday

A road trip up the east coast. During the school year so there aren't many tourists. Hitting lots of beaches and cute little shops and boutiques. We'll have to find beaches that no one knows about, or that are at least not so well-known to the general public. That way, it is actually relaxing to be on a beach. We could stay at little bed and breakfasts, or just sleep in the car-I have no problem with that. Oh and can't forget to bring change, we'll definitely be needing to do laundry. Make-up and hairdryers and straighteners: off limits...okay maybe the mascara can come. And definitely all the cds you can find. Music is a must. Other than that, pack lightly, because we are limited on space. However, you will need something for shells, you know you'll want to pick some up no matter how much you tell yourself you don't have a need for them in the first place...maybe one per beach? That sounds about right, right?

Now, the vehicle. Car, truck, van, camper? Campers are too big and bulky, I think. Cars may be too small. If we had a truck, we could sleep in the bed of it at night. If we have a cover, we could ride in the back too if we start to feel cramped in the actual cab part of the truck. This kind would be absolutely perfect. Of course, it would need to be a truck that gets good mileage, we don't need a gas guzzler. Or maybe one of those that has been converted and runs on basically any kind of grease. We could pick up old grease from restaurants before they throw it away. We'd never be in need of fuel, those places are everywhere.

Anyways, I'm starting to think four would be the ideal number of occupants in the vehicle. Maybe five, it might be too cramped. We want company, not enemies. Just a nice little group, nothing too large.

So, we'll start with Florida, or course. Then work our way up through Georgia and the Carolinas. Weaving our way through Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. (We will obviously have to stop at various places for educational sight-seeing, wouldn't want to miss school for nothing, now would we? Plus, history is interesting.) Then, on up through New York, hitting Massachusetts and New Hampshire before ending in Maine. Maybe, the border could even be breached and we could visit the foreign country of...Canadaaaaa. How exotic.

There will be tons of downtime, so I guess we'll need something to do. Shopping is nice, but we can't do that all the time obviously. We could bring books...journals and pens. Cameras. Music. That sounds nice to me. It may be boring to some. No matter, we are creative and can make our own entertainment. We will be exploring, so we could just use the downtime to learn about compasses.

Anyways, now I need to find buddies to come who will find this enjoyable and relaxing as opposed to boring and uneventful...hmmmmm...
