2.) I have officially changed time zones!!!
3.) Day 1 = 370 miles
4.) Day 2 = 276 miles
5.) Day 3 = 330 miles

with about 930 left to travel to get to my friends house in VT. That seems like a really BIG number :-( but it is officially too late to turn back now. The check engine light on my car went off and I will probably see if I can't find a GM dealer somewhere in Ohio tomorrow to check it out. I went down and ate at the Mexican place next to the motel and had a margarita. It was yucky! I am back in the room now and will chilling for a bit before hitting the hay. I had to actually ask the motel clerk what day it was! Driving will do that to you! Also for those of you keeping track this is the nicest place I have been in yet and was under 70.00. I have been able to give the clerks the exhausted travel weary look which has gotten me the triple AAA discount I don't really have! Uh, uh oh. I may have spoken too soon! The couple in the room next door are NOT happy with each other at the moment! Funny, starting out I didn't have daily destinations in mind but I also didn't think I'd be spending a night in each state along the way! I will make it through Ohio tomorrow and find a spot in PA. Ok, enough rambly Stacie for now :-) SEE YA'LL SOON!

Reporting live from Kentucky~

Stacie

Wish I would have seen this sooner. We could have recommended a GM dealer near us and taken you out for lunch. FYI, we live in SW Ohio(in case you didn't already know that).
