I'm driving to get Emma tonight. Who's with me?

I have the funniest husband.  To me.


And he's really sweet, too.  


So tonight I receive the following email with the title listed above (I'm driving to get Emma tonight.  Who's with me?) and this (check out #s 14 and 30!):

By the way, China has lots of toll roads, apparently.  Wow.  Apparently they don't really want anyone to have access to travel...unless they are rich.  Super communist of them.  Power to the people and all.


Here's what you get if you google maps fuzhou china, and then click directions from your house, and then don't change the filter from "driving" directions.  I'm trying to decide if I like the kayaking suggestion more than the jet ski, or vice versa.  It's only supposed to take 37 days.  Who's with me!
