After you drive 12,000 miles a month for a few years ,the thrill wears
off. I get back into it after the first couple of hundred miles but
getting up the enthusiasm to start off is difficult.

I can understand that. For us, the first 100 miles can be boring
because we've gone most routes out of town frequently. Given the time
we try to avoid the highways as they can be boring.

The pat weekend I knew the route from Hyde Park NY to Lake George and
the to Waterbury VT. For a change I used the NAV and set it to avoid
freeways and toll roads. Took us much longer but we saw a lot more.
Took us on roads I never would have guessed at.
