Have Car, Will Travel

The hubby once went to his home province by taking a ship which traveled for two days. He took the ship going there and back because he brought along his motorcycle for him to tour different places.

Of course, he can’t just do something like click here for car shipping because the cars being shipped need to have a person with it to facilitate the documents, the transfer, etc.

Road Trip

Am glad we don’t need to ride in ships when we go visit my parents otherwise, I’d probably get seassick.

Be Careful

Rains are here to stay and with it, a lot of road accidents happen.

Slick roads, flood and low visibility are just a few reasons why road accidents happen. It would also be a big help if people take care of the nitty gritty details of car safety. Sure it’s good to focus on making your ride look great especially with nice looking grills or maybe chrome rims and maybe even dodge seat covers but focusing more on the care being road worthy on a downpour is more important.

Vettel Wins Again

Sebastian Vettel wins 2011 Italian Grand Prix.

No surprise there, this guy drives well and he drives fast. And yes, he is on his way to dominate Formula One to win his second title.

The son’s favorite driver is currently #7 and is 4 points ahead of THE Michael Schumacher.

Whenever I see my son and my hubby get excited watching these races, commenting here and there about so many things like time lapse, pit stops, use of steel drums, pace cars, yellow and red flags, chicane and grid penalty, I can’t help but gush and wish they’d be doing this kind of bonding for a long time (or until there are Formula One and Moto GP races).

 

Lonely Ride

We had an early start yesterday morning. The long early morning drive was a bit boring, save for some music playing. I would have wanted to sleep but I’m not comfortable sleeping when in transit, except when I am extremely tired.

Early Morning

We also listened to the early morning news chatter and truthfully, I’m glad we weren’t stuck in traffic like other commuters. We just switched to music when the topics discussed were not that relevant to us. Some of the topics we listened to that were discussed were the return of a senator after months (or was it more than  a year) of not appearing because he has a case, Japan tsunami effects, hgh releasers and summer fun activities for the kids.

Going home was a lonely ride too, because the night was extra dark and the drizzles didn’t help perk up the mood. I was sleeping on and off on our way home and was glad when we arrived safely.

Was it worth the long hours on the road? Of course! I got to spend a few hours with my parents and children vacationing with them. Our youngest child was left behind though.
