Ever spend 8 hours straight in a car with your loved one? How about 9 or even 10 hours?

Well.. I have and its not always fun.

Two years ago my boyfriend and I drove to Baltimore from Boston for a weekend for a Sox game and we swore we would never do that again. Mapquest said 8 hours, it took us 10 to get there and 9 to get home. It was sooooo long and the car ride was uncomfortable. We rented some little plastic Kia and sat in NYC traffic in the same spot for two hours! On the way home I bought an atlas so we could map out an alternate route to avoid NYC and its congestion. It took us 60 miles longer but we saved an hour, go figure!

So now, two years later, two years wiser and two years more together we are venturing out of state for another Sox game. This time to CANADA! We're heading to Toronto which is a lovely 9 hours away, that's right, no typo 9 hours! What are we thinking? The cost of airfare and hotel was over $1,000 EACH...that's why we chose to try and have another ROAD TRIP.

Hopefully I will make it and blog about our adventures next week....
