starting day three of road trip

After two days and over 1000 miles, I only have one picture to share with you.

This was right before we left, when Banjo Man’s visions of having a bed in the back  seat vanished.  A banjo, mandolin, fiddle, lap steel guitar, amplifier, computers and clothing took up precious napping space.

The parents of the bride are happy, but weary.  We left late, being too tired to rush.  We have taken turns driving–2 hours behind the wheel, 2 hours napping–and are making amazing progress.

We stayed somewhere in Pennsylvania the first night, but I don’t know where.  It was a Comfort Inn near the interstate.  I’m not a fan of Pennsylvania–it goes on and on and there’s not much to see.  It always seems bigger than it should be and eats up most of day one.

I don’t know where we are now, either.  Illinois, west of Joliet.  In a Hampton Inn, which I always love.  LOVE my Hampton Inns and their clean white duvets.

I’m learning the GPS and loving that, too.  Today I am going to try to use the Mp3 player, one of those Ipod imitations that looks as big as a pill box and is designed to clip on your yoga top.  I have a contraption that is a cassette player but with a wire for the player and the cassette goes into the one in the car and the music come out of the stereo in the car.

Yep.  That’s going to work without a glitch at 8 am.   Non-geek Banjo Man is going to love this new addition to my bag of electronics and wires.

I will try to wake up and take pictures today.

    Was it Willy that sang “On The Road Again” or was that Banjo Man?
