writing a resume' .. need to fill in a gap

[Pocket Trips]

I'm writing up a resume and my main problem is I have a 5 year gap between my last 2 really meaningfull jobs.. 3 of those years are filled with going back to college full time but the other 2 are basically crap jobs that I took just to pay the rent till something good came along...

Whats the best way to handle this and not maake myself look like the screw up I basically have been for the past few years?

Should I just not list anything for those 2 years and if asked say I have been travelling ( which is partly true, I did spend about 6 months in texas and Alabama)

I do have about 14 years experience in the field I am looking in so I do have a stable employment record before this time period.
