I love road trips, and the more impromptu, the better. When I first met my wife, the unspoken test (which she passed with flying colors) was whether she was a good road trip partner or not. We also like to get off the beaten track, visiting places and enjoying experiences that aren't exactly run of the mill. When we got married 2.5 years ago, we honeymooned in Tanzania and Zanzibar. Just a couple of highlights from that trip (there were so many) was celebrating our wedding with a Dagota tribe, where we presented the village with a goat (BYOG) and had the chief commiserating with me on the fact that we Westerners can only have one wife. The other was spending a day hunting with the Hadzabe bushmen, who are the oldest remaining tribe of hunter / gatherers in the world. Last year, we spent Christmas inside the Arctic Circle, near the Dalton Highway which is a dirt road that runs for 414 miles alongside the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.
