Travelling for Christmas?
Well, I am headed back to the states to see my girlfriend and my family. My daughter might give me a grandson and I might see my son married LOL. All in all it will be good to see my parents, drive in the US for a change and take my car that has been in storage out for a spin.
Are you all travelling and if so where?

No traveling here planned.

But, do remember which side of the road we drive on here!

I've mentioned it before, but I'm heading out to the rockies (Jasper/Marmot Basin) with some friends for some snowboarding.

Leaving this Friday for three weeks, I'm super pumped.

I'm going to have to pack super lightly though, one of my checked bags for the plane is taken up by my board, and the bus I'm taking to the airport only allows one carry-on piece.

I won't have to travel more than an hour in any direction. For me christmas is much about being lazy in the company of others being lazy.

What a trip!! I'm glad I only have to travel 50 miles. I don't mind driving, I just don't like the long trips. The longest I have driven alone has to be about 500 miles. 1000 miles if you count the trip back.

driving in Missouri is a hoot...I remember to slow down traffic they would lay cones about three miles in length to gently taper to a single lane..
Be careful man...you probably have blowing snow huh...
