Phases of a Road Trip
Feb. 10th, 2024 08:22 pmPhases of a Road Trip:
1. Anticipation 1.0 - "Yay! We get to take a trip! Oh, the possibilities!"
2. Preparation - "How far can we realistically drive after work? How much is too much for a hotel relative to comfort and safety?"
3. Realization - "oof. This is getting expensive. How many vacation days will this use?"
4. Organization - "OK, I'll be gone two nights, how many tshirts do I need to bring? And which one will I wear to the show?"
5. Anticipation 2.0 - "Yay! We're leaving on our trip!"
6. Realization 2.0 - "This weather sucks. How have I only gone 5 miles in 45 minutes? I forgot how much I hate driving at night/in the rain/in unfamiliar areas"
7. Resignation - "well, we've come this far, and everything is paid for. Might as well keep going."
8. Exhaustion - "whose stupid idea was it to drive this far after work? 5.5 hours in the car was too much."
9. Realization 3.0 - "hey! We're more than halfway there! And Tudor's Biscuit World is right across the street! Score!"
10. Imagination - "Zach lives in Hillsborough, I wonder if he'll be at the show? And maybe Darren? They're both mutuall friends of Nic Brown ... could happen? Wouldn't that be cool to see one or both of them?!"
11. Procrastination - "it's 3:21pm, I should really get back on the road to my airbnb so I can have a much-needed lie-down before the show."
