Migrating:

As I mentioned yesterday  we are off to Myrtle Beach today.
Plan was to be up and out the door before six. The car was packed --- the lunch was made -- the alarm set.
Now when I travel a distance I am supposed to wear support stockings. If you aren't familiar with these they are really thick elastic stockings that look like they are made for a Barbie Doll -- which I am not. Anyway here I was at 5:30 am trying to ram my size 12 legs into size 2 stockings ...... needless to say we were late leaving.
Our tardy departure put us in Detroit at the height of rush hour so we were delayed again. Weather wasn't overly co-operative either as it rained most of the day.
Good thing we are retired. Enjoyed the scenery even in the dull weather. Temperatures were actually lower going through the mountains of West Virginia than at home ( -4 ).
We made it to North Carolina and our hotel at just after 7:00 pm. Best Western in Mt Airy. Nice rooms, comfy beds which we plan to sleep in shortly.
Another early start tomorrow since we want to be in MB by noon.

Now ---- should I speed things up in the morning by sleeping in these darn tights tonight ???

  1. Hi, Carol and Don

    Glad you made it to the hotel - all is well here. Hope you hit the warm weather soon.
    Always good to read what you are doing. Did you get any sleep wearing the tights to bed last night????
    Hugs,

  2. Maybe you could travel with your legs up on the dash and forget the tight stockings. Always full of good ideas, right??????????????
