When we go down south every autumn on our annual trek, we always talk about how nice it would be to move on up to a new level and try some kind of motor home instead of our large extended 15-seater van. The gas mileage wouldn’t even be that different between the two but our comfort level would improve 100-fold. Of course, we’d be forced to face many additional expenses, like motorhome insurance and whatnot…but one of these years we may just have to take this leap!
Do you literally RACE around when you are behind the wheel? If so, I would like to challenge you to consider slowing down for several reasons. One is that you might avoid an expensive speeding ticket which will eventually catch up with you if you speed around long enough. Another reason is to achieve a calmer and more serene attitude. I have found that when I get behind the wheel and I am feeling stressed and frantic while I am driving, driving is a very unpleasant experience.
On the other hand, if I get behind the wheel feeling calm and relaxed I can get to my destination at pretty much the same time as I would have had I been speeding…yet I feel so much better!
Here are some suggestions for how to slow down:
My family and I are tossing around some different ideas for a late winter getaway. It’s so cold where we live and about this time of the year the winter can get pretty hard to bear.
We go to the southwest every fall…and this year I have suggested somewhere east instead. I’m thinking Outer Banks, though I have yet to convince my husband. I was looking at Outer Banks rentals yesterday and I think we could really enjoy ourselves.
Have you been to this area? What did you like about it? What didn’t you like? I thank you for your input!
