Do you ever want to go on a road trip at some point in your life?

It's easy and safe these days, but now we've got too much other stuff to do.


I've taken trips as part of a unit, by myself and as "leader" of the unit.  Being leader is clearly the best.  No Hummel museums.

I've been on plenty before, hugely enjoy them.

I'd like to do a cross-country road trip. Other ultimate goals would be to do one from the U.S. into Mexico, one through the South, and a European one.

I'm not sure what you mean by road trip, but I love getting out of town and driving.

In college, my friends and I spent one spring break visiting Columbus, NYC, Niagara Falls, and East Lansing.

As an adult, I've taken trips to Birmingham, to Denver, and to Nashville, and I've driven to each one.

One weekend, for no good reason, I drove around Missouri, passing through Springfield on the way out, spending the night in Rolla, and passing through Jeff City on the way back.

And then of course, when I moved to Virginia, I drove out there (through Louisville and West Virginia), and when I moved back 20 months later, I drove back (this time, through Knoxville and Cape Girardeau).

Which law school are you going to, if you don’t mind?

Yes.

I've already seen pretty much every state on the I-40, so going through Montana, the Dakotas, Wisconsin, etc. would be ideal.

Yes, in America some day. So far, I have only been to California and Las Vegas. But I guess that's something for the next 10+ years.

Next year, I want to do one in Greece from Korinth to Thessaloniki. Two weeks, each at a different beach.

Absolutely!  Some friends recently did a road trip through the Balkans, so I'd like to do that.  It looked awesome.  I'd love to do one through the US too

Yes!  I have done two major road trips in my life.

In 2013 my brother and I road-tripped from Mississippi into the Southern Appalachians and the Shenandoah along the I-59/75/81 corridor.  Eventually we turned back east on I-66 and spent a few days in D.C. and taking a more coastal return route through Richmond, Chapel Hill/Raleigh, Charlotte and Atlanta.

Later in 2017 I road tripped from Mississippi to Yosemite following I-40 through Memphis, Arkansas and Oklahoma before spending a decent amount of time in Santa Fe/Taos.  Then went on to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas before getting to California.  On the way back we went through San Diego to Tucson onto El Paso and I-20 to Dallas. 

Also I wouldn't call this a "road trip" (not enough stopping) I have also traversed most of Florida in a vehicle by driving from Mississippi to Key West with major stops in Gainesville and Miami.

I've never done a real "road trip"

I mean I went on a trip to Atlanta with two girls who were classmates of mine during Spring Break when I was a senior in high school, but that was literally like a 4 hour drive or so (I-24 from Nashville to Chattanooga then I-75 into Atlanta) so I wouldn't really consider it a road trip.

I'd love to though, it sounds fun. I've often considered driving I-40 from my exit all the way to California. But that sounds super long.

I went on a cross-country road trip in 2011 to visit family in Washington. I kind of want to go on a road trip to Florida; I've never been south of Nashville.
