My Mom would go to AAA and get these TripTik things that mapped out the trip.
Gas station road maps were great. I often enjoyed them more than the trip itself.

I thought it was a right of passage when my Dad entrusted me to be his navigator on family trips. I suspect he knew the route before asking, but I still thought I was more important than my older sisters on the trip.

What a fricking nerd.
Me too.
I have a world atlas on my coffee table and will crack that dude open from time to time and just browse.
