how far can you go and how much fun can you have on one tank of gas?
I’m dancing a jig (actually, several of them) this morning as I am thrilled to announce:
I HAVE RECEIVED A 2012 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID ON LOAN FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY FOR A SEPTEMBER, 2011 ADVENTURE!!!
Check out this gorgeous environmentally-focused vehicle I will be driving:
ROAD TRIP!!!
The title of today’s post is the theme of the upcoming Blue Lollipop Road trip:
How far can you go and how much fun can you have on one tank of gas?
We all know the best things in life are often free (or very inexpensive.) People always ask me how I’ve afforded to travel so much over the years, then are shocked when I share the minimal cost of my previous trips. Typically my biggest expense has been gas, which of course with all the Hondas I have owned over the years, has been affordable because they get such great gas mileage. With this new hybrid I will have coming up the gas mileage will be even better! Honda will be covering some of my travel expenses for the upcoming trip as well, which is an extra special treat.
Today’s announcement is just the beginning of some big time fun. In the coming days and weeks I will be taking votes as to where all of you think I should go, see, do, eat, etc. so stay tuned and get ready to participate! Honda and I will have voting polls on Facebook, and of course some other social media fun too. The trip will start on the east coast on September 2. From there the sky (or road) is the limit!
Can I get a whoop whoop?! We are going on the open road again baby!
