Traveling up and down I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson is quite a drive.
The first time I drove it, I was driving a rented Penske truck whole towing my car. It was our move from Ohio to Arizona. And it was NOT a very good road.
Brian and I traveled back and forth many times. And each time, it was slowly being improved. Emphasis on slowly! There were very few places in between to stop for snacks or a restroom. Then a few truck stops went up. At the same time, they widened it from 2 to 3 lanes. Boy did that help!
Fifteen years later, and its not really a bad drive with many more stops along the way. My fav stop is the Walmart on Cortaro Road. Yes, its always busy, but its a nice place to walk a bit after being in the car for so long.
Spending time with my daughter and family makes up for the long drive. And I've discovered the time goes by fast if I bring along my mp3 player loaded with country tunes from the 60s and 70s. Time just flies as I speed along, singing loudly, and remembering the magic I knew listening to these old sing along songs!
