How do you prefer to handle long drives during vacations?

Point A to Point B, no dilly-dallying
Point A to Point B with a hotel break and maybe taking in the sights
Point A to Point B via Points A1, A2, and possibly A3
Road trip? Isn't that what planes are for?

I said strange, not surprising.  :P
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Meri, the family and I went on a Meri-approved (I think) road trip today.  8 hours, 500km, and wound up back at our house.  But we saw an assortment of giant roadside attractions (world's largest sausage!  world's first UFO landing pad!), went back to some of the old towns and houses Tracy and I lived in, and weirdly the most memorable being a village named Andrew - the same name as our middle kid, and getting pictures of him besides all kinds of stuff with his name on it.

It was a fun day.

That sounds delightful! What a great way to get out of the house safely.  :wub:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

If I'm just looking to move my butt somewhere specific I'll take another means of transport when available (train within Spain, plane elsewhere).
The only way I can drive for more than a couple hours lately is pedal to the metal (Autobahn ,baby!). I get really antsy otherwise. Long drives are a pain in the arse with my condition as well.

I have engaged in some fun road trips in the past, but those were intended as such from the start. If I were to do it nowadays I think I'd enjoy Threviel's approach the best.
