I'm a road trip whore, but I've never taken a significant other with me. It's usually always been friends who were scared to fly for trips from Seattle to Vegas (about 10+ times) or a trip to NYC after September 11th. I've driven across the country 3 times before as well...moving from Va Beach back to Seattle after I got out of the military (had a friend fly down and drive back with me, took two weeks), Seattle to Alexandria/DC and back for a job (both times by myself). Save the flaming from those who read this, but I've always had some sort of multimedia system in the car, so watching movies on long trips like this really kills the time. I make regular trips to Seattle or Reno, starting in Boise where I live now, and watching about 3-4 movies in those 6-8hr trips makes it much more bearable.

Yep taking the significant other definitely adds to the stops made along the way. I'm a fan of the guys road trips. Atlanta, Miami and an occasional Atlantic City drive. I can definitely agree on the video though sometimes it's just what you need in regards to that little extra to keep ya going. Majority of the time I've seen the flick so many times I don't need to look at the ipod, moreso the sound.

Glad I'm not the only one with a complaint in regards to the roads. We were spoiled in VA, the roads here in KY aren't even really comparable.
