Road Trip

Disco Raheem

Anybody ever been on a road trip? Just you and your mates pile into a car with little to no money, and take off with no real plans of where you're going or what you're gonna do?

Last year for schoolies week (the week after seniors finish high school, they flock from over the entire country to the Gold Coast for one huge party), two friends and I took my heap of shit car down to schoolies. We had about $150 between the lot of us, no hotels or anything booked, and no real plans or time frame. But we would be damned if we were missing this party though.

It was a wild week, I met up with heaps of mates, and just drunk people that I met, and stayed in a few different hotels, resorts and holiday houses (and one night in the lock up). Being that seniors here are 17, yet I was 18 due to leaving school and returning, I would buy alcohol for people in exchange for free piss. Food was scavenged from whoever and wherever, and having a car meant people would give me fuel money to keep her going if I gave them lifts. The girls were drunk and plentiful, and fun was had by all.

I ended up borrowing $40 from a mate so I'd have fuel for the drive home, with enough change to get a quarter pounder. I ended up putting 1500 km's and a nice ding in the car, and looking back I don't think I've had as fun a time since.

I'm about due for another trip I think.

Anyone else got any road trip stories?
