i need to get the fuck out of this town. i need to be spontaneous. go big, be irresponsible, leave with no secure or proper way to return. i don't have a lot of time left in my life to do this... for a year, my dad, Bree and i have been planning a trip to the Florida keys. just minutes from where he lives. we blocked out some dates, my father rented us a place suitable for Bree, her girls and i, finally this week we managed to finalize our plane tickets. bought and paid for. with the minimal flight and lay over time... now we have to research, reserve and rent a vehicle large enough for us all. a hotel to stay at prior to our departure in San Fransisco the night before and a place to leave the car that can pick us up after midnight upon our return... this will be an awesome trip no doubt!!!
but, i am desiring something more immediate. something impromptu. a wad of cash in my pocket, at least three days ahead of us and either a truck to blast off in or an airport to decide leave all our worries behind...
where would you go?

Get a map out, close your eyes and pick a destination. The Keys are beautiful (after tourist season ends)but most places can suffice....look at it as an adventure.
Hope you didn't book during hurricane season - June 1 - November 30. How is that for taking the wind outta your sails?
your place
hahahahahaah I am funny guy
MILDRED! welcome to the voices, hope you enjoy... i love the map idea! its as good as the "next plane leaving" notion...
Kimberly, my dad swears that the reason his neighborhood hasn't been knocked down by hurricanes is the fact that there is an ancient Indian burial site down the street that they city planners had the forethought to not disturb when building the town.
stone! millions of people a year drive down our highway on that very vacation... it becomes less appealing when its your drive to/from work.
thanks for the comments everyone!
I do vote road trip. And maybe take along my new bible "Road Food." All sorts of awesome eats that take you off the beaten path.
europe. amsterdam, spain, portugal, etc etc.
if you want to go cheap(er) try the travelodge in South SF, should have free shuttles to the airport and you can keep your car there. at least, from what i remember many moons ago.
got an email this morning from the traffic court saying i was dismissed. fuckin bastards, why do they make me stress like that? i just had to read about how bad stress is for driving. bah!
LOS ANGELES!
Great picture, Zack. On a totally unrelated note, it's too bad you got kicked off Facebook before getting a chance to join the "Nice Truck. Sorry About Your Dick" support group.
