<p>^ OP corrected that to son asked. It seems the gf was going to head out on her own.</p>
<p>Romani- there’s no problem when all parties agree or have the same travel styles. The issue is if the dynamics are off and there you are, in a car for 9 hours. Tough way to learn if you get along. Personally, I’d say wrong venue to test the budding relationship between your gf and your parents. </p>
<p>EK- it’s annoying and rude to not fit yourself into the dynamics- all three of them will need to do this. Not at an airport, not in a short ride, not at dinner- but locked in a car. </p>
<p>By all means- and I’d bet some will agree- let the two young adults test their own relationship via a 9 hour car ride!</p>
