I would pack the car up for an extended car trip. I would pop in an audio book and drive anywhere and for as long as I wanted, each day. stopping for a snooze in a safe and nice hotel. During the week days, I would drive while listening to a talk radio station and after that turn up the volume on the Souther Gospel music and let it rip. Eventually, I would land on the Pacific coast and follow the ocean up into Canada and eventually work my way to Alaska. Perhaps, I would just stay there and become an Alaskan girl...who knows? I would also take the time to fish along the way. The best of both worlds: driving and fishing...both delightful activities which can be done by one's self. Well, sorta alone. The EMS pup would also be my traveling companion but he is like an old man already in that he simply falls dead asleep while riding in the car. He must have a bladder the size of a steel drum. He doesn't even beg to go pee. Oh if only I could sleep like that!
