Okay, where do I even begin?
Back in August, I overheard my dad talking to my mom about a trip that they are apparently planning for
next Summer. I tried to not say anything until the trip got closer (if we're even going). I was eventually able to convince myself to not worry about said trip until Summer arrived again...that was until I overheard my dad briefing discussing it with my brother just a few weeks ago. Here's the thing. This family vacation is going to happen in Virginia and I'm all the way in Texas. I don't do well with long road trips like this. And I'm not just talking about a measly 3-8 hour trip. No. I actually kinda like semi-long road trips that are only a few hours. But that's not what we're talking about here.
According to my dad , this trip could take anywhere from 31-35 hours! THIS is when the length and distance starts getting to me. Back in July 2014, we went to Florida for the fourth Independence Day and my mom's birthday (which is the day after ID). While that trip had it's good parts, I also felt groggy and just very "bluh" for the duration of the trip. This is why I don't want to go on the Virginia trip. Because I just don't do well with long-*** trips like these. Might I also mention the fact that I know next to nothing about this trip? All I know is my parents have friends in the State that they wanna go see.
It's not that I don't wanna see them. I just don't think it's worth sitting in a truck for 12-18 hours straight, then spending a crappy night at a hotel, then sitting in a truck for another 12-18 hours just to visit a family I hardly know. If my dad would get us a plane and we flew over to Virginia, then that would honestly help boost my excitement about this trip. Because they want to see me, but unfortunately, a 2-2 and a half day trip to Virginia outweighs my want to see the.
I just know that if we I get drug over there by-truck, I'm just going to feel very groggy for the duration of the trip. I know because of the Florida trip.
Like I said, if my dad would just get us four plane tickets, just THAT would take away the dreadfulness I've been feeling lately.
Guess I'll just have to see how everything pans out.
