Day One: The Departure

KB: Watching the BMW being packed, the fear continues to mount.... tents, sleeping bags, cook stove, lanterns, fuel, hunting knives, food crates (yikes, food in boxes and cans), bags of GORP, coolers, etc. These are items for which I have no familiarity. I was focused on packing the essentials: netbook, blackberry, cell phone, GPS, 2 iPods, 1 iPod speaker deck, and chargers (car and regular) for each device, and, of course, the golf clubs. As the car becomes more jam packed, I am thinking about the Ritz Carlton, the Four Seasons, W Hotel.... what have I signed up for?



V: I am so in my element looking at all the gear. No boutique hotels for Karen on this trip!!!! My fine cuisine ala camp stove; no Zagats for her. The kitchen and bedroom are in the back of the car, and I love it! My main concern now is keeping her entertained during the car ride.



Day 1:

Late start. 300 miles. 1 small ding to the windshield after mile 37 - bummer. 2 sites - apple picking at Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site and Gettysburg Battlefield. 1 Holiday Inn hotel, Cumberland, Maryland.

  1. Oh my ... so you've started.

    The beer is in the fridge,
    the vodka is in the freezer.
    There's snow on the hills already;
    your Beemer better be a four wheeler.

    See ya soon, I&N
