Together Nancy and I have played with the law, loved and lost and loved and lost and loved.\u00a0 I&#8217;m talking about people and places here folks.\u00a0 This movie shows like no other that shared experiences and intense times while traveling serve as the best litmus test to true friendship.\u00a0 Somehow what you experience on the road with someone is so intense that a 3 week jaunt can feel like 3 months or more.\u00a0 This film also phenomenally portrays that feeling of sometimes wanting or needing to get away from it all.
