Road trip.

Going on a road trip has always seemed like a very American thing to do. Obviously we have roads and cars back in Australia, but our major cities are quite far apart and there's not always a lot to do or see in between them. 

I guess it's also something I've seen on tv and in alot of movies. 

I'm happy to say that I've taken my first proper road trip since moving here!! Granted it was only down to Boston (2 hours south) but it's a start.

I wasn't sure how the car would go on the freeway, or how busy the traffic would be. But to my surprise (and delight) the drive was easy, pretty quick and very painless. Not too much traffic on the road and I was able to stay in the middle lane for most of the way without having to worry about overtaking/etc (they overtake on the left here and that's something I'm still getting used to). 

I'm down in Boston now for the weekend, catching up with some good friends. 

Now that I've survived this journey I am looking forward to planning a few other trips in the surrounding areas (Montreal. Ben and Jerrys Factory and other parts of Maine to name a few). 

Now it's time to go relax and unwind...
