Thank you!

Thanks for all the info ElBee! I think I found some way to include everything but your ideas might be helpful anyway!

Now I have one more question...I'm hoping it's the last lmao

Is it considered a roadtrip if it only lasts a day? I think the general idea is that it should last multiple days, but in my own life I've called roadtrips, those that happened on the same day too, as long as it was a trip with a car to a specific destination to do something fun...so how does it count here? 

Roadtrips are often done in a day, too, especially in tiny island/peninsula settings. If you're going on a kdrama classic roadtrip to see the sunrise from a pretty beach with a clear sky and a view that is not broken up by buildings, it's still a roadtrip if it's only a few hours from the city. You might decide to make an adventure of getting food from a place that makes what you're craving better than anywhere else or decide you need to see some big flower fields and eat rest stop fried foods along the way. :) You're going out of your way, well beyond the amount of driving that you would ordinarily be doing, for recreational purposes (ie it isn't your job to drive and I probably wouldn't call it a roadtrip if I'm rushing off to a hospital because a family member's there, but you could still -make- a roadtrip of it... most just wouldn't for something somber).

To all of you who are aiming for  Surprise/ Buffet,  please remember that  completing the WHOLE challenge means also coming up with 5 peppermints of your own. 

I just wanted to ask the last thing, is A tale for thousand star approval for Watch a title featuring a Road Trip

Today is the day, so for all you participating in this years challenge who want to be part of the hall of fame do not forget to Turn in your forms!
