When you do d road trip, there is a lot of time to ponder life. I really like this quote from Emily Post who recommended to avoid making snap judgments.
“Unless you can stay in a city long enough
to know some of its people, to learn something about its atmosphere and
personality, your opinion of it is as valueless as your opinion of a
play would be, after seeing only the posters on the outside of the
theater.” (Post)
