I am not the fondest of holiday travel, but one thing that has definitely gotten me through was my iPod. Normally, I will travel with my sister to visit my parents in Albuquerque, and it is about an eight hour drive. I guess that is not the worst thing, and the way that I normally justify it is that if you were at the airport, with all of the waiting around, it would be about the same amount of time. That’s the way I justify it, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that I like to travel in the car for so long for Thanksgiving.
Another catch to this story is that my sister is a very particular driver, and she won’t let me drive her car. I guess that is also justified because I have gotten several speeding tickets. This means that I have absolutely no role in the travel itself, except to sit there and veg out. This year, I have downloaded numerous songs to my iPhone, and I also have many new applications to play with. What I’m thinking is that I’m just going to zone out and hope for the best, and at least I have my iPhone to keep me company.
