Things I Learned From the Drive

1. There is no such thing as an early start.

2. Projected time to get there means absolutely nothing.

3. When on a 340 mile drive DO NOT keep dividing the number of miles traveled by how long you've been on the road to figure your average. It's enough to make you turn around and go home.

4. Forget the cooler. Always buy fresh drinks on the road just so you get out of the car once in a while.

5. Twittering while driving is hazardous not just to your health but to everything on or near the roadway.

6. Twittering at stops is GREAT for people to track you so long as Twitter is working properly.

7. If you twitter the word "accident" expect people to call you on your cell phone.

8. Backroads may take longer but you find the most delicious things along the way (Johnny Depp and Christian Bale....*drool*)

9. Trucks WILL watch out for the little car...

10. I'm not just safe at home. I can be safe anywhere. Really.
