Back in RI!

Image
  After 650 miles and another 11 hours in the car we were happy to see this sign! When we set out this morning from Virginia, Paul had to dig out my sweatpants and a jacket to put over my sweatshirt.  The temperature - 33 degrees!  Thankfully we had heated seats and hot coffee from the hotel.   And then Siri sent us around Washington, DC - way around.  Through Western Pennsylvania - Gettysburg, Harrisburg and Allentown.  Beautiful country.  Lots of mountains and farmland and no traffic jams. Having never traveled this way it proved to be very entertaining.  (An extended longer stay is likely in our future to truly check out this beautiful area.)                                                  Would you take anyone seriously if this was on their resume?           ...

Emphoria, Virgina

 After more than 800 miles and 12+ hours in the car, we were more than ready to stop for the night.  We just crossed over into Virginia and after a quick check in - off to dinner . While I had Louisiana shrimp... Paul had a breakfast burger. The ride north was uneventful.  The only kink - Siri sent us through Lumberton (a town?  Village?  Should it even be on the map?).  The only reason I can think of for getting off I95 in North Carolina would be an accident or major traffic jam.  But we have ignored Siri in the past and regretted it (3 hour delay on George Washington Bridge in New York!).  So we meandered through a spit of a town because she said so.                                                       This morning's GPS map - a bit daunting. We have 63 degrees here and severe thundersto...

Farewell Florida

And just like that - the week is over and we head north early tomorrow morning.  Goodbye South Florida - we will be back soon!  Goodbye Marc and Molly - great company, beach trips, BBQ, dinners and card games.  Goodbye Karen and Alan - safe travels and we'll see you back in RI.                                                                 Goodbye pirates!                                                  Goodbye alligator waters! Goodbye airBNB camper - except for the non-functioning oven - it has worked well for us! The car is packed as full as Paul could fill it.  Our back seat has a bit of room left for our cooler and my laptop. The t...

West Palm Beach, Florida

Image
 Thank you Marc and Molly for inviting us to the community BBQ!  Cornhole, live music, a petting zoo and yummy BBQ including brisket, coleslaw, corn bread, ribs, corn on the cob and so much more.  An impressive event. Though the weather threatened (thunder and rain in North Palm), the night remained dry with a nice breeze in West Palm.                                                                   Walking Bella with storms threatening. This morning Paul and I walked the Green Market in West Palm.  With 146 vendors there was plenty to look at and the people watching - epic.  Parking was easy (not free) and the bathrooms were clean (long line though).  And Lennie - I bought you a duck!   Unfortunately the waterfront was blocked due to the upcoming bo...
