Back on the road

I love exits along freeways. Particularly after a long and tiring drive it feels so refreshing to see a service-area at an exit. You can look after yourself, stretch, rest, relax, re-fuel, rejuvenate. These exits provide you the boost for the next leg of your journey, for yet another long drive. These exits keep a motorist going, they are the breaks that travelers look forward to. Without these exits, drives would become dull, drivers would lose interest.

Had stopped at one such exit .... for the last one and a half month. And boy, wasn't the break refreshing! Every week there was something to do - We explored an unbelievable number of places: New York, DC, Maryland, Niagara, Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, Atlantic City and the NJ coastline right up till Cape May. Drove thousands of miles, it was so much fun getting up every weekend picking up a car and heading straight to the highway. Ate great food: Home-made, desi restaurants, pizzas, mexican, lots of starbucks .... shopped king size: blew up hundreds of dollars shopping .... In short, everything was nothing short of spectacular. Life was perfection personified. Seriously, it doesn't get better than this.

But now its time for the engines to roar once more, its time to get back to the freeway and zooooom ahead. After all, too much time at an exit would mean lagging back .... behind the rest. Looking forward to the drive ahead, and even the bumps if any. The driver and his car are all charged up now.

PS: Forced exits or mistaken/mistimed exits can result in unnecessary stress, loss of time and other problems. So beware ;)
