2009 - Adventure
Am back after a hiatus to talk about the most daring event of 2009
I always wanted to take a long drive since the day i bought my car.
My driving skills - The general perception is gals are not good drivers.. I completely agree with this fact :) and am no exception... entry into one way and hitting the car in parking lot is normal... I had a bad driving history in India.. with just a couple of accidents in my pocket .. :)... i still remember the trip when i started driving rental cars in US and almost escaped a fatal accident. My friends would never forgive me for this... So, when i told my friends .. you know am planning to drive to jersy all by myself.. The first question they asked me was .. Are you Crazyy??? .. well I am :)
I was very excited about the trip. The drive was little difficult...as i was the only driver. Driving in night is definitely challenging, but I started my preparation.. Loaded my ipod with all dance numbers i could collect.. got AAA membership(incase my car breaks down i can get some help)..
I started the drive around 4pm. The weather was awesome. Summer is the best time to drive. The only companions were loud music and hot coffee... and ofcourse some friends whom i bothered with phone calls..After couple of hours boredom could engulf you especially on these long and lonely roads...Solution.. watch out for other cars..They are not only the best companions but also your competitors who engage you when you drive...they challenge your speed and slow down when a cop is spotted...I drove for 12 hours from Charlotte to NewJersy.I completely enjoyed the experience....Speed is definitely fun, but watchout for the cops...
The trip aint complete without a ticket.. but alas i escaped only with a warning..:)
