My Favorite Road Trip, Vacation, and Travel Movies
When I can’t take a road trip, there’s always my favorite road trip, vacation, and travel movies! You will see that I also included many movies in this list that are not road trip or travel movies, per se. They are on the list because there is either traveling involved, they give you a sense of really being in the place they are depicting, might make you want to visit there, or have great scenes, and for a couple of hours, transport you to another place. In no particular order, here’s my list: It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Cannonball Run Duel Convoy The Long, Long, Trailer Rain Man…

Our new T@B Trailer
For several years, Pat and I talked about getting a teardrop trailer/camper. We had seen the traditional teardrop style, and thought it was cute. A traditional teardrop trailer is small, and the inside is just a bed (can’t stand up in it). The back hatch opens up to a galley kitchen.
