A group of friends from all over the country want to take a long trip somewhere all together. When they decide this they have to answer a few questions. They need to figure out where to start- at whose house should they meet? Where are they going to go? How are they going to get there- what mode of transportation will best suit their needs? There are many things they must think through before they are able to embark on the journey. Writing is taking a long roadtrip. In order to start the journey it is imperative to have some kind of plan. But, at the same time, know that these plans may change. As you begin the trip you may realize you would rather go somewhere else. A totally new destination and way of getting there may arise- go with it and see how satisfied you are. No matter where you decide to go, the time it takes to reach your destination depends on who is driving. If I was the one driving, our trip would take a long time. I usually drive the speed limit but occasionally I speed up. Often times I drive for a long time and realize I do not know where I am going. When this happens it is necessary to pull over and walk around to strecth. When I get lost/do not know where I am headed I have to backtrack a bit until I find somewhere I am more familiar with or stop and ask for directions. Along the trip things may go wrong. The road may have pot holes that make your trip bumpy. It will not be as smooth as you had hoped, you may get a flat tire but that can be fixed. It may take the whole group of friends or one person. But, all the planning and time you put into it will pay off- you will have the time of your life. Hopefully you will be happy with the end- product and end somewhere like this.
I think the biggest problem for me is choosing the destination- getting started. What are some good ways to get started? Do people find it beneficial to make an outline?
