road trip

My response to "Invalid Entry"  by Susannah Deschain for Sunday, September 13, 2009 leading entry for "Follow the Leader" .

I need to go on a road trip. In the past three or four months, the only road trip I've taken is to Searchlight, Nevada, I went there twice. Once to take my sister back to the trailer she rents there and the second time to take her Toyota Tundra to her. My sister doesn't drive and her old man was in UMC recovering from a stroke, so I got to drive her Tundra. I want a Toyota Tundra!

I suppose I need to plan a day in Searchlight, Mom would like that. Not that there's a lot to do in Searchlight. Searchlight is a speed trap and it has a casino, I think I noticed a little gas station and grocery store there as well, but not much else.

It's been years since I drove to California. Whenever I drive from Las Vegas to San Diego I go through Bakersfield. Bakersfield is always hot, it doesn't matter what time of day or night drive through the city it's hot.

This question just came to mind, if an alien (from another planet) takes a road trip from his or her planet to Earth, does the alien call it a road trip? I wonder what an interplanetary or an intergalactic road trip is called, something to think about anyway.
