Roadtripping
Roadtripping: On the Move with the Buffalo Gals | Conni Massing
17 posts | 1 to read
Roadtripping documents a decade of road trips through the fiefdom of Alberta. The men and women who make up the Buffalo Gals first set out in July 1999 to experience the unusual and charming roadside attractions of south-central Alberta. Never dreaming that this one-off adventure would turn into an annual event, its ten years later and they continue their escapades. Each year a new destination is chosen and the weekend-long travel begins. Traditions have evolved including elaborate scrapbooking, eating in gourmet dining rooms (when available) and excessive snacking (without fail). Beyond the joys and challenges of being on the road and a deepening bond of friendship, this book is a love poem to Alberta, a province often misunderstood and mislabelled as being the right-wing cowboy haunt of Canada. With trip route maps, hilarious photos, and appendices including checklists and recipes, Roadtripping explores the bizarre and wonderful attractions of wild rose country, stuffed gophers, political fanaticism, mad cows and more.

AkashaVampie @ElizaMarie a mug for me and my oldest son got the tagged book 4y
AkashaVampie @ElizaMarie @jb72 we are currently laying in bed in a hotel in Albany (just for 1 night) so that we can go shopping in another mall and maybe go to a museum tomorrow. 4y
jb72 @AkashaVampie You know I have eaten there a few times, but I never liked their food. 4y
AkashaVampie @jb72 we actually liked their cheeseburgers. I think it was their buns that made them taste really good 4y
ElizaMarie ooo did you make it to the museum!? Also I love museums! I hope that you had a great trip! 4y
AkashaVampie @ElizaMarie we didn't get to the museum sadly, but we did a ton of shopping and eating. We had a great time but man are my feet killing me. Thanks sweetie 4y
ElizaMarie @AkashaVampie Thats sounds like such a great time anyway! The museum will always be there for when you are ready ;) 4y

CouronneDhiver Any hotels near the cruise terminal or the airport that you would recommend? I‘m sailing from PR in the spring! 6y
WanderingBookaneer @CouronneDhiver : The Sheraton Old San Juan is right across the street from the docks in Old San Juan. El Convento is a converted nunnery across from the Cathedral in Old San Juan and within walking distance to the docks (although it might get uncomfortable with the luggage and the cobblestone streets). I know there are a handful of boutique hotels as well. 6y
CouronneDhiver Thank you! @BookishMarginalia & @WanderingBookaneer I‘ve had a couple of really cool PR experiences in the past so I‘m super excited to spend an extra night this time around 👍🏽 6y

I should have been on the road 15 minutes ago, but I needed to make a playlist. It‘s basically Christmas music and Backstreet Boys with some extras thrown in.

Got a lot of windshield time coming up. Any recommendations for light audio books? Something sans peril, anxiety, etc?

I actually had a weekday off - yesterday - so headed on a little jaunt a couple states away to visit an #Indiebookstore I had discovered in Shepherdstown, WV. I think they've taken the sign down for the windy winter weather, but what a cool, wonderful experience I had when I got there. Thanks, Four Seasons bookshop!

Tamra Adorable! 7y

My biggest recommendation for road trip audiobooks is to pick books the whole family would enjoy. Kids tend to like adventure stories whether the book was written for adults or children.
1) How to train a dragon-read by David Tennent
#24in48 #audiobooks
2) Any of the Harry Potters
3) The Hobbit

Currently I'm on a 2,500 km road trip with my sister, who is driving her new truck (and load of animal feed) back to her farm near Whitehorse. 😊

DivineDiana What fun! I love trips with my sisters! 7y
