Am getting tired of this little military town that I reside in. The stress of it is getting to me.
So I am leaving. Road trip time. Taking my happy ass on a 150 mile road trip to Raleigh tonight.
What do you do when you just need to get away?

I go home to my ma and pa!
Yeah, thats like 3000 miles for me.
In the past I've taken little six-hour-or-less road weekend road trips, too. Only took one this year, which is disappointing. I would have liked to take more.
I took a two hour road trip to visit my family today!
At least you went to Scotland and Utah, and I don't know if there was anything else.Quote:

I love short little road trips.. like taking a weekend to go somewhere close..
I feel your pain, Pants.. I live directly across from Gate 1 @ Ft. Campbell, so the whole place is crawling with soldiers. And Clarksville is so damn far away from stuff (besides the KY state line, anyway) it's hard to go do anything besides movies and shopping.
I want to take a weekend and rent a cabin down where my mom and dad used to have their boat docked. It's on the TN River, away from everything.. it's nice to just go and spend time there ... I'd love to surprise my parents with this. They used to get a cabin for a week for Christmas and we'd all go and stay with them. It was so much fun.
I want to try and do that this coming Summer when it's warm so that we can swim and maybe rent a boat to go out on.
I just lived with a friend for a month who lives roughly 1300 miles away. I drove.
Nothing says getting away like driving in your car for 24+ hours by yourself and than doing it again a few weeks later :monster:
I'm done leaving for now, though the experience has made traveling a potential long term hobby of mine if I have a goal in mind. I'd like to meet more online friends in the future.
Time to relax at home. For now, getting away means immersing myself in things I can distract myself with without actually having to leave.
I don't frequently feel like I need to get away from my hometown because I love it here so much. Sometimes I need to get away from the house so I go to the store or something.
My life is super exciting.
I really enjoyed being able to get out of this little town and back into a city. I guess I really miss the city more than I thought. It was nice to get that city feel.
Really, I live in the mountains. I can just go on a day-long-hike or a weekend camping trip. It gets the job done very well.
All of my friends live 1700 miles away from me, so its pretty hard to go visit.
I live about half an hour from Hong Kong so right now that's my get-away destination of choice. It's different enough from Mainland China to make it seem like a complete change of scenery. And there's so much to do there that any mood that strikes me can be satisfied. Good Western food? Yes. Beaches to camp out on? Got that. Mountains to climb? Check. Ballin' clubs? O U KNO IT. The only drawback is that HK is astronomically expensive.
I want to "get away" in the fashion of moving back to Kansas City. I miss it so much.
I venture to Omishville, PA. Dirt roads, horses, cows, and cornfields. When I want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life I go here.
