I didn't drive either direction. It was left (dramatic chord) to my Father.

Which ...isn't really a problem, if he'd stick to the PAVED HIGHWAYS AND NOT GO ON SCENIC DETOURS </rant>

I feel better now.

ELEVEN hours with your family? ONE WAY?

My uncle loves to go on scenic detours and my cousin still hasn't recovered, I feel your pain!

Welcome back:)




(somebody still drove too fast.) :rolleyes:

Considering the posted speed limits in Arkansas and Missouri are both 70 mph, 11 hours is about right for making that trip (which is not quite 700 miles).

On the plus side, my parents got one of the minivans with a DVD player, and so we watched the Blue Man Group concert DVD (The Complex) for a bit, but I also attempted to listen to things I wanted to listen to on my CD player, but got drowned out by the Chieftains or my mother's Christmas CDs in the van's stereo, even with the fade dial set to front speakers only. Oh well - it's over. But I guess that counts as a compromise.

It's a hard life sometimes dadaist.;)

Well sorry to hear about your Mother drowning out your tunes, but I am very glad to hear that you made it back safely. :D

Yes, I guess you could say all's well that ends well for another 12 months.
