What snacks do you take on a Road trip?

  •   10 comments
Quilli ☕ Author Icon - I'm going with you next time I travel. I like everything on your list.
I am terrible at packing snackies for road trips. I usually rely on convenience store stops since it is also an excuse to get the heck out of the car...unless I have just been in Wisconsin. Then I will have a cooler full of cheese curds.
Planning ahead always makes me more careful. I like to snack on carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, grapes. For longer trips, like train rides, maybe a granola bar, and always a bottle of water. I don't usually travel by plane, only short cheap trips. If I don't plan, then it's a candy bar or donut from a vendor.
I've added a new entry to my book, "Gemini Rising" Open in new Window.:

Check out "Novalis".... A great German romantic poet, 1800's
Hard to choose, but this poem is the first that sprang to mind:

Upon Julia's Clothes

By Robert Herrick

Share
Whenas in silks my Julia goes,
Then, then (methinks) how sweetly flows
That liquefaction of her clothes.

Next, when I cast mine eyes, and see
That brave vibration each way free,
O how that glittering taketh me!
I tend to love bittersweet and melancholy. So, John Keats and "Ode to a Grecian Urn" suit me.

                   Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though winning near the goal—yet, do not grieve;
         She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,
                   For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!

Keats wrote this in 1819. He died in 1821 at the age of 25.

And the more famous lines at the end:

         When old age shall this generation waste,
                   Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,
         "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,"—that is all
                   Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
Time to take the recycling to the recycling place, but recycling in CA is not easy. Though I just found out my local Smart and Final and local liquor market take recycling.
Since it's National Poetry Month, sharing a poem from my port. Enjoy!
