I drive pretty much all the time.
The wife will say, "You look sleepy. Want me to drive"?
I'll say "no thanks."
She'll say "Why not?"
I'll say, "Because then I couldn't sleep."
We seldom do the long drives any more. Anything over 6 or 7 hours is unusual and that's with a stop for fuel and to stretch the legs.

I drive pretty much everywhere and prefer it that way. Wife makes me nervous. One time I was really nappy and gave her the wheel, she talks out loud to other drivers (“now what are you doing driving like that”?) while I’m trying to nap. I can’t rest, so after about an hour, I tell her I’m refreshed and ready to go again.

We are stuck on 75 north of Macon for the last two hours. This after I24 and the Atlanta sewer.
Hating life..... She is driving or standing still I guess

I try to stay away from I 75 south of Atlanta. It's a zoo 90% of the time.
I'll take 41 or 23 instead.

She makes me very nervous when she drives. Yet, she's been driving for 56 years accident free with I think one ticket in that time. Still, I always drive unless I'm debilitated.

Neither myself or my wife are nervous over the others driving....
I do take it down a notch when she is awake. A very little..... But she naps if we are driving anywhere far.......
If she feels me changing lanes, a lot accelerating really quickly, etc....
Without looking up or opening her eyes... She will say.... Honey, you are driving like a dick....

My wife refuses to take trips on the interstate roadways. Back roads only. We took a 1500 mile trip a few years ago, saw a bunch of tiny towns I never knew of.
I let her drive all the time, she drives normal but maybe a little late on the brakes sometimes.

I love to drive. 12 to 15 hours straight is nothing for me. On a rare occasion I'll be tired and let her drive. I'll pass out in the passenger seat. I prefer to be sleeping when I die

La Quinta and a LOT of Air BnBs will. Hilton just took us with 7 dogs! They built it “pet friendly” nice vinyl flooring and no rugs Call ahead. They are called “Tru by Hilton”. Good luck Thanks! Will check it out. Clarksville, TN is our half way point and tons of hotels in the area, will check out Hilton. |

Clarksville, TN is our half way point and tons of hotels in the area, will check out Hilton What we did on this trip was use hotels.com, and search for pet friendly hotels, the refine search based on amenities and price. Pet fees were all over the board from $20 to $70 (which they charged without telling me) |
