Notes from the Road - The 2025 Roadtrip!
Travel

Hey there, adventure-seeker!
I’m thrilled to plant an idea in your mind for 2025: a good ol’ road trip! But not just any road trip—one that takes you someplace entirely new, somewhere that’s been sitting quietly on the map, just waiting for you to discover it.
Imagine this: grab a map (or let’s be honest, Google Maps works just as well!) and draw a circle with a six-hour drive radius around your home. Within that space, there are probably dozens of destinations you’ve yet to see, right? We all have these hidden gems closer to us than we realize. Maybe it's a quaint town with a historic downtown, a tucked-away national park, a quirky roadside attraction, or even a scenic coastal spot you’ve never ventured to. The magic of road trips lies in the unexpected; the stops you didn’t plan for, the cozy little diners you stumble across, the quiet moments when you see a view you’ll never forget.
One of the best parts about this kind of travel is how easy it is to get started. No boarding passes, no airport lines—just you, your car, and the open road. So, go ahead and pack light but with the essentials. Grab your favorite snacks, a couple of road trip playlists, a cozy blanket for any unexpected chilly stops, and a notebook to jot down all the fascinating things you come across.
The morning of your departure, there’s no rush. Just head out at your own pace, but be sure to make a pit stop for that perfect road-trip coffee. Fill up the tank, check the tires, and make sure the tunes are ready to go. And here’s a tip from me to you: keep the itinerary loose. Let spontaneity lead the way! Maybe you’ll spot a roadside stand selling fresh fruit, or a scenic overlook that begs for a photo op. It’s those unplanned moments that will give you stories to tell.
So go on, make 2025 the year you drive somewhere new and embrace the adventure waiting just beyond your doorstep. Pack up, hit the road, and discover the wonders that lay within a day's drive. And don’t forget to take a few photos (and maybe send one my way—I’d love to see where the road takes you!).
Happy travels, and here’s to the open road!
