I absolutely HATE riding in a car for a distance over a few minutes to an hour. There are days that even an hour seems like forever. I know that driving/riding is the only way to get from one point to another, but that does NOT mean that I have to like it. And believe me, I don't!!!!
It may be the result of the fact that I become nauseated if I try to read while in a moving vehicle. I can manage for a few minutes, such as for reading a map, but anything more than that is not pleasant. Therefore, as a child, I slept as a defense against the boredom of riding. And as a result I often fall asleep when riding to this day. I try not to, especially when the driver is relying on me to stay awake, but sometimes I just can't.
Yesterday, however, I managed to stay awake for over a 3.5 hour trip, both directions. When there are stops along the way for gas, a meal, a stretch, it certainly helps! Plus, there were 4 of us, driver included, so the converstation really never stopped. And I know that Molly appreciated the company and the converstation to help keep her alert.
