Calling a long haul cross country drive stupidity is wrong. Slow down and enjoy the journey is something someone says when they've reached a stage in life when they can slow down and enjoy the journey. To those not in that stage of life but still in the RV lifestyle it is patronizing. Some of us take RV trips in between other life events that occur for the stage of life we are in including kid's activities, school calendars, and work. When we've made a family decision to spend the week we have available to us in Florida, saying slow down and enjoy the journey is meaningless.
