context: When I was preparing to do this trip , I was thinking it could either be really relaxing or terribly stressful , and it has been the former . Despite ( and partly because of ) the almost Herculean ambitions of reconnecting with every family member and/or close friend within several hundred miles of the Detroit metro area , it's been really a pretty low - stress time . Yes , we drove for a long time .
question: What kind of ambition am I talking about ?
reference: To rekindle friendships with old friends in person .
candidate: to make friends again .
