We both slept very well last night and woke up early to enjoy a free breakfast at the Dry Ridge Holiday Inn. Once on the road we noticed the States are pouring some money into their infra structure and fixing up their roads…lots of construction but no holdups. The trip through Kentucky went by very smoothly and before we knew it we were in the Cumberland Gap area enjoying the hills and hollows.
We were listening to an audible book on the ipod called, “A Walk in the Woods”. It is a story about two fellows walking the Appalachian Trail. It was really neat because the scenery they were describing is what we were traveling through. The sun shone brightly in Tennessee and we witnessed the snow in the back of the pickup box melting :) We stopped for gas and lunch near Ruby Falls Tennessee and decided we would call it a day once we passed Macon Georgia. It was a little crazy driving with 10 lanes of traffic going through downtown Atlanta at 4:00 pm during rush hour. It was 14 degrees so we opened the sunroof and enjoyed the skyscrapers. We took the bypass around Macon and decided to check into America’s Best Inn in Perry Georgia. We walked across the street to the Red Lobster and had a lovely meal of Tilapia, coconut shrimp and salmon. There was a Kroger next door so I brought a very stickysweet apple strude pie back to the room. We are 670 miles from our destination and it is only Wednesday.
You better put it in high gear because it is 10 degrees here this morning heading for -3 tonight and it is headed south. Of course my 10 and -3 are a bit colder than the 14 you were experiencing with the sun roof down, or at least I hope it is. I’m only kidding, take your time, enjoy your trip since I don’t believe you are going to get hit too hard by the “Tundra Cold Front” as the weather man here titled it yesterday. It started out at -45 in Fairbanks area and gained about 45 degrees before hitting Ky. This global warming is killing me!!
Keep us posted,
Bill
was that 14 celcius or 14 farenheit?
