Howdy, LUV!
Yep, meandering along back roads is the ideal trip. More scenic. Hubby and I used to take off on day trips and coast along for hours with no destination in mind. Just cruise country roads for hours and hours. Haven’t done it in a long time. :-(
Radu, when taking those long winding roundabout trips with hubby, he may resort to “man speak.” Remember: “I thought we’d explore a different route” is man speak for “I’m lost.”
