My summer trip with the buddies
Three of my good friends and I are planning on taking a road trip this summer. Our plan is to see all of the cool stuff in America that we’ve always wanted to, and also find sweet places along the way. We will try to save five hundred dollars apiece through the year, put this toward gas, food, hotels, and campsites, and to travel for two weeks deciding where to go along the way. We will have a list of the places we need to go, like Zion national park and Las Vegas, but otherwise we plan on traveling on a whim; whatever strikes our interest we will check out. Living cheaply will allow us the most freedom, we plan on camping or sleeping in the car most of the time, not to mention staying with any relatives we can get a bed and a meal from across the country. The only thing we still really have to solidify is whose car to take. I plan on buying a new vehicle sometime in the spring or early summer so this problem might work itself out.
The real fun behind this trip is not the destinations; it’s the trip itself and being with your buddies. Seven of my good friends and I went on spring break this passed year and had the best time of our lives, we hope to have that same experience on this trip. We are a tight knit group of friends, we all take care of each other and love being together. Looking forward to this trip is keeping me sane and focused through the rest of this semester. I just hope everything works out. No matter what, though, I’m sure we will have a good time.
