Finally! The last opportunity of the summer! Pile all the kids and the spouse in the car and head out for that last fling before the school year makes such things a difficult proposition. Or, just gather a few friends and make that fantasy of heading to Cabo San Lucas for a weekend fling. Or, just get the heck out of Dodge, with or without the authorities giving chase.
One of the great adventures that sit idly in the back of the mind of the average person is to take off on a journey to yet undiscovered locations. The purpose of the Hit The Road Blogathon is to highlight some of the great (or even not-so-great) films in which the goal was to get from point A to point B and all the shenanigans that come with it.
The Hit The Road Blogathon is not closed yet. You still have time to join if you so wish. In the meantime, this post will update you on the journeys some of my fellow bloggers have chosen to review. Keep coming back all weekend to see where my friends want to take you.

Thx, Marianne. It's on the roll call.
DeleteThanks for this fabulous topic - really looking forward to checking out those entries.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time coming. I thought of it several times, but the timing was wrong... Who wants to do a road trip in December, at least in the northern hemisphere... Thx.
