So my soon-to-be roommate and I are going to Vegas starting tomorrow. We're going to be driving there so it's basically a two day trip.

There's a lot going on around here and I hear some stuff's been going down there so we're pulling all the measures of caution, but I'm honestly excited because I've never done a road trip before like this! (Jacuzzi, if you're reading this I promise I'll drive safely. And we'll take rests.)

That said, not-so-hypothetical question this time: What's a good way to keep two people entertained for a trip like that? Or if we want to keep this hypothetical, what will YOU do on a two-day road trip?

I'd make a live recording of the entire thing but I feel like that's stealing an idea off of someone here who said he want to do a live blog sort of thing for his college life.

Bonus Question.

>> You're moving into your first own place and you get to choose any first purchase like a piece of furniture or decoration or anything. No need for realism it's all hypothetical. What will you choose?

[Surprisingly, those seem like very normal, down to earth questions. He believes he can venture into the network to answer them. After all, those people are coming to Vegas, aren't they? The least he can do is show them some proper hospitality.]

I would pick up a small rock at every stop. By the end of the trip I would have a whole collection of rocks to remind me of the places I had been. Perhaps feathers as well, if I could find them.

As for your second question, I highly recommend a potted fern. They don't need much and are very soothing.

Will you know which rock came from which place?

Plants, huh? A potted plant would be nice to have in a new home. Looks nice. Is that what you'd do for your own place, too?

[senseandcecilbility]

[He cannot help but smile as he types the answer. Rocks and plants are fun.]

Reminding oneself should be part of the game, don't you think? And it would be nicer if each one of them were unique in their own way.

Plants are excellent companions. A fern would have been my choice, but most of my current home was first furnished with some of my grandfather's furniture.

[Whatever was not sold with the old house after grandfather's death. Moving into a small apartment was more sensible and economical, after all.]

[bombgasmic]

Huh. If I do that, I might bring a container with me that's separated into sections, and I'll put in each rock with a piece of paper so that in case I do forget, I'll have a hint.

Your grandfather's, huh. But does that count as a purchase...?

[senseandcecilbility]

Oh, yes! That is a really nice idea!

[There is a short pause before he starts typing again.]

It doesn't, does it? Now that I think about it, the first thing I ever bought for my new home was a porcelain penguin figurine. I've been collecting them since then.

[There is even a picture attached!]

[bombgasmic]

Oh wow! That's so cute! Do you like penguins?

[senseandcecilbility]

I live in Vegas. Penguins are endearing and we don't see them very often. Do you know they used to have penguins at the Flamingo? Unfortunately the poor dears were too miserable and they had to be relocated to Dallas.

[bombgasmic]

... What's the Flamingo?

[senseandcecilbility]

A hotel and a casino. They have an attraction called the Wildlife Habitat. There are many...flamingos.

[bombgasmic]

Where? where? I want to see it!

[senseandcecilbility]

[So passionate.]

If you are coming to Vegas, I'd be happy to show you the Flamingo after work.

[bombgasmic]

[Flamingos in a hotel.]

I'll be with my friend the entire time -- you won't mind if he comes along, do you?

[senseandcecilbility]

[But no penguins... ]

Naturally. It is perfectly fine.

[ Usually, he is not up for this much socializing, but you know, cute animals.]

[bombgasmic]

Thank you. My name is Nice! And you are?

[senseandcecilbility]

Cecil Keller. It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Nice!

[bombgasmic]

And you, too. Can I contact you on this number when we get there?

[senseandcecilbility]

Most certainly.

[ It is not like our innocent sightseeing plans will be thwarted by possessed sea life at all.]

[bombgasmic]

[In that case the answer is to catch them for dinner.]

Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to seeing you, then.
