Once you're in Fort Collins, I'll be able to help drive... you can take the bus... it's getting here that's half the challenge. I admit, I love driving, so I don't quite understand your phobia, but I know you can do this.
I like driving when there aren't towns involved! Like...that trip to Maine last summer was a blast. So there are portions of the trip I'll likely enjoy.
But the parts with toll booths...and traffic...and multiple lanes where you can accidentally get in the wrong one and have a really hard time getting back, especially with other drivers who aren't patient with stupid out of staters... *shudder* That's the sort of thing I have nightmares about. Seriously!
