A road trip is an interesting mode of travel. Seeing Mr Husband with his sister and mother searching, discussing the Marathi music on you tube they listened to 4 decades ago was a treat.
The first leg of our journey-two stops and 250 KMs we were in Nagpur after 6 hours on the road.
We who live away from home and family have an idea and image of our family members but not exactly their choices about many things. Spending time at home is totally different than traveling together. My nephew’s chilled attitude was the biggest take away from that first leg of our journey, how he kept cool while packing those 100s of bags, drive and then when when Madam Google took us everywhere but home how he navigated the road. He took care of his grand mother’s needs, Mom’s stuff, Mami’s (aunt) attitude, he is a brave man.
My MIL is in her early 80s and I have been worried about her ability to travel this far on the road but her enthusiasm is contagious. She may be getting old but the willingness to travel to meet her siblings and their families is unparalleled.
Listening to those stories from her lifetime during this travel is an experience.
What is your road travel story?
A Simple cotton Ikat for the trip borrowed from MIL’s closet for the travel.
I didnt pack sarees this time, just carried my blouse and shopping in everyone’s closet :)
A short trip to visit Ellora Caves.
