A few of us played this game last year on the way home from Midwest. Lemme tell you...we flew past those TechnoKittens like it was no ones buisness. Then we waved at a van that we thought was them but really wasn't. I think we went past them quicker than we did the Kittens. That was a really short trip. :D

I am not sure of any FIRST road trip games having spent only 1 hour each way on the bus and flying the rest. I do know my fair share of standard road games however having made many a 12 hour drives each way over the weekedn to watch HOKIES!!! down in blacksburg. Some of the better ones are mad libs, state plates, roadkill bingo, 20 questions and what not. However one of my more favorite games to play I juts learned a few months ago where it is kinda like a mental strategy/ memorary/knowledg thing. The basic version is you pick any four letter word (appropriate foourletter words). Then everybody tries to guess the word by saying other four letter words and you saying how many are right and how many are in the right place (though not which ones) until they figure it out. It sounds relativly easy but it can go for quite some time even over "bulb" or "dogs." Once you get more advanced you can do more then 4 letters and move up to 5 or 6 or even 7!!! It can get quite amusing (if you are a nerd like that anyways :D ) The the person who got it right goes next and whoever has the most at the end of the trip, next stop or until sick of the game would be conisdered the winner

Then in the car, we can play "Name this country song" (I will win that one ;)) I am thinking that we can get there easily within 7 hours, not the 8 hours that maps.Yahoo!.com says. This sure will be an experice that I wont forget. :D


Here are the rules for my vehicle
  1. Drive fast, but not out of control (still beat the Technokats though :p)
  2. No country music
  3. David may not sing.
  4. Amanda may not get drunk from cough syrup/cold medication
  5. I am the captain/comander and chief/general of my vehicle, anyone who doubts me/challenges that will find themself left at a gas station. :)

I hope you enjoy your trip :D

I don't know which way we are going because were riding on a charter bus. So they have to change drivers like every 3 hours or something. But were levaving on Tuesday morning.

Team 121 is also driving to Atlanta, were looking at 18-20 hours of driving. FUN! ::sarcasm, sarcasm::

I'm personally out for revenge this year. I remember waking up one year on the bus to find myself being duct taped to the seat, and I'd had my shoe laces tied together. What a fun prison trap that was. Well someone's getting it cause I'm bringin' my duct tape. I suggest u do the same for some good laughs.

I don't know about you but i could sleep for ten hours. But for the ones that can't bring plenty of AA batteries a cd player and lots and lots of music.

We always play cards using a suitcase as a table. Alot of the freshmen bring gameboys. I however on the VCU and Chesapeake trip i brought a laptop and about 6 DVDs

i think i prefer our route of travel....flight!
yes, it is more expensive, and yes, we do need to do more fundraising and "chipping-money-in-ing" but i personally think it's well worth every cent!

greg, i like your idea as well, ipods forever!

ok, just kidding, we aren't flying.....i'll be using some of everyone's ideas for our two upcoming 16 hour bus rides! See y'all down there!
