Fighting off boredom on the road

We just returned from a quick trip 4 hours west. While we found things to chat about, there were plenty of long, boring stretches of roads, and not much scenery besides fields. We are traveling with no kids either and are new to driving longer distances. Looking for ideas to pass the time.
  • NPR; any classical station I can find. Personal fav is for those who give biographical info about the composers, maestros or orchestras.
    Playlists.
  • Pick a fight. Tell him that the jeans he is wearing require a red flag on the back pocket. Seriously, plan your next trip.
  • Between conversation, audio books, satellite radio, and the always changing scenery, I don't think my wife and I have ever been bored while underway.
  • This is where we get the old time radio programs that were immensely popular in the 50's.

    There used to be a book called `Radio on the Road' but it was only published once which is unfortunate because it listed what stations Rush Limbaugh could be found on plus some helpful information.
  • We mostly chat, quiet is ok too, but have used audio books and music CD's for really long stretches such as across Texas.

  • Hmmm... I like the quiet, so we just relax and enjoy the ride. But lots of friends listen to audio books, you might consider that as an option... assuming you can agree on books to listen to ... :)
