Transcontinental Mapquest directions crack me up: They're all "0.1 miles" here and "0.1 miles" there until you hit one that's "1086.6 miles". Basically, our route is going to be:

• Leave Madison


• I90


• Enter Seattle

Not that I needed Mapquest for that, but it was still fun to get the directions.

TripTik

A TripTik is a spiral bound booklet of strip maps of interstates that AAA will put together for you. They're kind of cool, actually, because they also include info like what services are available at which exits, the distance between exits, estimated travel times, whether an exit has a AAA approved hotel or tourist trap, etc. First time I came across them was in 1972 or '73, when Mom and I moved from Boston to LA and I navigated.
