Have you two ever meet in real life?
No, that's one of the biggest points of this. If my parents let us road trip together but disallow the whole "visiting other Blocklanders along the way" part, we'll just turn this into a road trip between the two of us (though hopefully that won't happen). We've video chatted on Skype several times, but that's the closest we've come to physically meeting each other.
Don't be mean, Rae. Your parents would have completely legitimate reasons for you to not go on the trip. The fact they are overprotective shows they Love and care for you. :c
Oh trust me, I'm not being mean at all. I know they love me and care for me and all that but I mean come on.
Comr4de proposed that we do a Skype video chat between our two families so that maybe my parents can stop being so damn paranoid about this.
