Well, we were able to get out of "Dodge" today, Sunday, after studying the weather reports along Interstate 95. We had some icy roads in PA last evening, so we decided we would not be able to leave too early in the morning. Felt we had a window if we left home at 10 and got below Richmond no later than 4:00. They were predicting freezing rain for the Baltimore, Washington DC area and even close to Richmond late afternoon. Fortunately we were through those areas before there was any rain. Traffic was relatively light and we stopped at a Comfort Suites arond 5:30 at Wilson NC. Hope to get into Florida tomorrow and on to Naples by Tuesday. So good to be back on the road. Would have stayed in "Willie" tonight at a CG, but really too cold and they are predicting rain. It is about 38 degrees here in NC. Thought we could get an earlier start if we stayed in a motel! We got here early enough to see the last 3 minutes of the Ravens game - what a sad ending!
The prediction for tomorrow is rain, but not the freezing variety! We are so ready to get to the warmer weather. Florida, here we come!!
Just a side note! My friend, Deb Eberly and her husband, were heading back to PA today from a 2 week trip in Florida. We talked to each other several times today as we were both traveling on Interstate 95. We actually passed each other between Richmond and DC. They tooted at us. What a hoot!!!! I'm just glad I am heading South instead of North. (Couldn't resist that "dig", Deb!) Hope you avoided the freezing rain close to home!
Looking for a continued, uneventful trip on our journey to Florida!
