Road Trip
Ok so last time I tried to set a trip up it did not work so well because apparently you have to be like 21 to rent a hotel room. I honestly did not know that. Plus a lot of people did not have jobs/enough money for a big trip like the one I had hoped to plan.
So I figured we could maybe do something else. You guys know the crazy annoying little towns that have like the biggest ketchup bottle or the best apple pie in the state? I think we should take a road trip and see what the Midwest is really like. It could be cheap since gas prices are down. Maybe we could go on like a three to five day trip. I was thinking if we got enough people we could take a couple cars and Amanda (or was it Keegan...might have been Merge) suggested after so long we pull names out of a hat so that everyone gets to spend time in each car with everyone else. So it's not just the same group of people in the car the whole time it would be fun to change it up.
Anyway, I think this could be a fairly affordable and amazingly fun and crazy trip. I think we should go at the beginning of summer so that for those of us who have summer jobs we have that short break between the end of school and the beginning of work (at least thats how my job is). We could bring cameras like Missy did for the Ozarks and record the trip and make another DVD or something. And I wasn't sure if this should be all girls or guys and girls.
Anyway I just thought it would be a fun way for everyone to have some time together cause everyone is really busy. If anyone thinks this would be fun or has any other ideas or suggestions or anything just leave a comment or something.

i'll drive (if i get the grandpa car again)
just to warn you...when summer comes around, unless you're pumping E-85, expect to pay between 3 and 4 a gallon. demand will go up, and supply will not, so prices will not be happy ones.
We still wouldn't get around the hotel issue. If we take a three to five day trip, we still need to have a place to sleep.
Well even if it is 3 a gallon (I am fairly positive it won't get to four...probably stay somewhere around 2.90) it would still be cheap if we split the cost between everyone going.
We could check into hotels. Maybe we could look for free campsites and plan a trip around where those are located.
Don't all start bashing it right away - I'm just seeing if anyone is interested or not. It's just an idea and if enough people are interested we can work out some more details later.
hotels are not all 21. i stay in hotels every weekend, and only some are 21 and up. ramada, red roof, comfort, and budget inns are all 18.
don't just plan on sleeping in the car the whole time...cause like it or not you are bound to run into a semi eventually...
actually the only reason gas is "down" now is because they are getting rid of their summer formula.
Yeah, I've gotten reservations at hotels. And since I work at the Holiday Inn, I can usually get us reservations for $30-$40 a night, which would cut down on cost a lot.
awesome! No one has really commented if they are interested in not...would anyone be interested in going?
Last year my job started wicked early, so it depends on when everybody gets back and is able to go. Sounds good, though.
going to try to work as much as possible... gateway fired a cashier and said they wouldn't hire another one as long as i work the busy times of the year... summer being a big chunck of that...
