I actually CAN wait to get on the road again, however, tomorrow it will be exactly that…on the road…

It was less than three months ago that we packed up and moved to SC…my incredible son helped me out big time and we drove through the night (well HE drove most of the way…likely 9 of the 13 hours), with Abbey THE dog along for the ride. We drove overnight and avoided all traffic issues. Sue arrived a few days later, having broken her trip up into three stages. We unpacked, settled in and have really started to enjoy being here.

Then we started to talk about continuing a tradition of Thanksgiving dinner at Tori’s in Wilton. It sounded like a fabulous idea, so we planned a trip. We leave tomorrow morning and will stop at Colonial Williamsburg, since Sue has never been there and has wanted to go. That’s not too bad, as the 480 or so miles are all south of the DC/Baltimore boondoggle. Then, Tuesday morning…we leave for CT…and have 7 pm dinner reservations at one of our favorite places, with friends we’ve not seen in the three months away….through the DC/Balt area, followed up by the TZB and more going into CT…I’d be lying if I said I was not dreading it…THEN….Friday morning, to keep ahead of all the OTHER holiday travelers we leave to come back…this time the goal is to get through the DC/Balt. area and pull up for the night in Virginia , the rest of the trip the following day.

Couple this with the fact that we are leaving Abbey THE dog with a petsitter that we are not quite sure of for a lot of small reasons…however, it was the best arrangement we could make for this trip.

I’m sure I will regale you with tales of the trip sometime in the next two weeks…for the time being, keep a good thought for us for a smooth, seamless trip both ways…

Happy Thanksgiving to all!! I am truly thankful that we even have these options.
