Sunshine Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Next Friday Gateaux and I have a 7 hour car trip to see my new cottage in Tobermory. first of all, I was wondering if any Ottawa people have a portable video game thingy we could borrow for Gateaux? Do you have any other suggestions to entertain a passenger? It's usually the last 3 hours of the trip that I want to tie him up, gag him, and throw him in the trunk. ok, ok it's not that bad....(love ya babe!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 How much of a reader is he? A couple of books (especially collections of short stories, which allow the reader to get an entire story "digested" in a short time) would be good. How about crossword (or other) puzzles?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomFoolery Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hey Sunshine,Which Friday are you leaving? Kayte and I are going to be on Manitoulin on Sat the 20th for a gig I'm doing up there. We'll be passing through Tobermory - beers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Lisa -- are you Hitchhikker's fans? Get the whole series (like 6 discs' worth) and you'll want to stay in the car longer than the 7 hours.really, any books on tape should help pass the time.On our looooong drive to/from Florida last year, while I was the driver -- and only person left awake-- I played this game with myself (to keep awake and prevent firey-death-by-car-crash-syndrome). I had to find every letter of the alphabet, in order (no jumping ahead) from either other license plates or road signs. I kinda remember getting stuck on J and Q for a helluva long time. But if not for that, and those bumpy, vibrating raised thingees on the sides of the interstate.....Snail has a family favourite game he's taught to his daughter and mine..called "Smiles & Oscars". You randomly wave and smile and act silly at passing motorists and chalk up the number of returned smiles/waves VS the number of grouches!anyway, we have a portable DVD player which obvioulsy doesn't do you any good this weekend, but feel free to borrow it when we're closer whenever you do this drive again!

Sunshine Posted August 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I don't want to leave him at home, cause once he gets there all is good.

Nitro Compression Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 My brother and sister used to play the game "Yes/No". One person says "yes" and the other says "no" until someone starts to cry. Usually as a result of the driver going ballistic towards one of the players. try it out. Alternatley, the game silence is also a good choice. The loser is the one who speaks or makes a noise first. I have to stop writing, I am having flash backs of chilhood road trips.
