We did, and the pizza was fantastic, the people, not so friendly, crashed in a cozy hotel overnight and then ventured on to Narragansett, Rhode Island, where we stayed in a rooming-house type hotel with a huge porch and I sat on the seawall in the morning watching the water. I was very happy to see my Narragansett on the Weather Channel last week during the hurricane, and that it fared well with minimal damage. That town and that trip will always remind me of that intense, aching longing of being twenty and in love with the wrong person.Shieldmaiden96https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673938377819957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-81480556218782126082011-09-02T14:51:33.436-04:002011-09-02T14:51:33.436-04:00A friend and I once took a drive out to the lake, ...A friend and I once took a drive out to the lake, ended up picking up a couple of hitchhikers and driving them all the way to the Grand Canyon. <br /><br />Overloaded with brains, that's me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-5756796390903415452011-09-02T14:46:37.929-04:002011-09-02T14:46:37.929-04:00I took a high speed ferry from Malta to Sicily for...I took a high speed ferry from Malta to Sicily for a day because I was already in Malta for a user conference and had a spare day tacked on the end of the trip (because my itinerary was screwed up) but that was back during the road warrior days and things like that just sort of seemed so normal and now? Oh hell, I spontaneously went grocery shopping at lunch last week.

About 3 days actually. <br /><br />There was one time in college that my roommate and I drove from Oswego NY to Niagara Falls, Canada... in a day, because we could. Then the next day we drove the other way from Oswego and went to Gananoque, Ontario! Neither day was planned prior to about 5 minutes before we got in the car.<br /><br />I am *so* glad that you did this!!
