i kid you not

every year for christmas my parents give me an aaa membership. it started in the days that i often left my lights on or locked my keys in the car. since then, i have not had much use for the membership, but do feel safer knowing i have it.

i thought with the upcoming journey, that i would avail myself of one of the previously untapped services....the triptik. perhaps you've heard of it? basically, it is a customized point to point spiral bound 'companion' for the road. it outlines not only detailed directions, but possible interesting stops along the way, as well as triple a hotels, restaurants, etc.

it's a free service for members, so i ordered one.

i was shocked at what actually arrived!


(1) southeastern states folding map
(1) southwestern states folding map
(1) georgia, norh carolina, and south carolina tour book
(1) alabama, louisiana, and mississippi
(1) florida tour book
(1) arizona and new mexico tour book
(1) southern california and las vegas tour book
(1) triptik part 1
(1) triptik part 2

it's a pretty amazing package that i did not pay an extra cent for!

I'm more of an aeroplane jockey, then I rent a car and get lost in the city/town/countryside trying to avoid any and all agendas.

I hate looking like a tourist.

I think this stems from cursing at everyone with an out of state liscense plate on the beltway and dancing past the staring rubes in the Museums.

Sorry, feeling very negative... perhaps I'll go back to bed.
