Clary, that's exactly how I spent my recent holiday. The goal was to drive mfrom Boston, Massachusetts to Saint Augustine, Florida and back, a matter of some 700 miles one way. But the goal itself was of no importance whatever and there was no specific date that I had to reach there. So the whole point of the trip was to get off the main highway any time one saw an interesting road sign and spend whatever time was deemed necessary for this diversion, often a day and more. One of the most fun trips I've ever undertaken.
(However, except for travel brochures, read no books during the trip.
