That’s right – we’re doing it again! Why fly when you can spend the entire day driving to QuickBooks Connect! As you can imagine, a lot can happen when you put 6 people in a Ford Expedition for 445.5 miles, but here are 6 ways that we’ll know the trip was worth our effort!

6. If we get there & Wally World is open

5. If we avoid the need to intentionally drive the car off a cliff while holding hands and humming aloud Hans Zimmer’s “Thunderbird”

4. If we don’t have to leave Richard’s luggage on the roadside to make room for our dead uncle in the trunk area

3. If nobody strips down to their tighty-whities and succumbs to the invisible fire after crashing into a ravine alongside Interstate 5 near the Grapevine

2. If we don’t find out in Bakersfield that there’s a bomb in the car that will go off if Brian lets the car go below 50mph

1. If we arrive in San Jose safely in our rental car and not a Las Vegas PD squad car with a tiger in the back seat

Be sure to follow all of us for #QBConnectOrBust updates! We’ll be tweeting from the road as we make our way to #QBConnect on Sunday, November 1.
