history: I packed for a long road trip, and had everything I would need to hopefully avoid excessive stops.  I had to drive 12 hours straight last week. For once it wasn't terrible_comma_ because I packed everything I needed. Took two hours fewer than it normally does! That sounds exhausting! Were you driving for work or just taking a vacation?
current: Vacation. Went to go visit my parents.
next: I'm sure the drives worth it since you get to spend time with the family.
