This doesn’t mean that everything has to work as accurately (and characterfully) as an industrial sewing machine. How many times can we riff on tour buses before the joke gets old? And while you’re planning, it makes sense to consider the perfect set of wheels for your upcoming road trip.īut what actually makes for a good road trip car? Well, decent mileage wouldn’t go astray, because, while a ghostly quiet service station on a pan-flat plain makes for great calm-before-the-storm pacing in movies, real-life service stations are about as enjoyable as.
Maybe keep things to the planning stage at the moment, while everyone is still at the mercy of a deadly virus that’s stalking the globe and generally ruining whatever it touches – much like tour-bus patrons, now that we think of it. And, just like drive-in cinemas, it’s the kind of idea so great and so obvious that no one can really adequately explain why it was consigned to history.Īnd, as far as we can tell, it’s high time to bring it back. Yep, it’s what holidays used to be back when flying was a) expensive and b) remotely enjoyable: the road trip. Luckily, there is a perfectly brilliant holiday just waiting in the. Even staying at home doesn’t sound quite so bad when you put it like that. Because this whole ‘staycation’ thing has worn about as thin as our COVID track pants.īut what sort of holiday are we going to take? Are we really just going to go back to hopping a plane somewhere, checking into an Airbnb and then gorging ourselves on cuisine that stopped being authentic after the first million tourists or so? Swanning around to the same old monuments, craning our necks past the sea of selfie sticks and manoeuvring among the phalanx-like throngs of tour-bus patrons? Yeesh.
And when that happy, halcyon day arrives, we’re going to need a proper holiday. At the risk of premature optimism, we will eventually be shot of this hateful virus.
