I don’t drive so other half drives the 18 hours straight. But we do that twice a year, so not a big deal.

On a note, right now furniture and appliances are at a premium. So glad we didn’t listen to the “Sell everything” and buy new. We would be sitting on the floor. Plus we love our furniture, it well made, and not the veneer you find today, and it goes well in our homes. Not a fan of the Florida look.
You can still buy quality, real wood furniture try the Amish place on 301 by the post office. As far as veneer, even that has been cheapened it is far thinner than it used to be.

Driving 18 hours straight commercial drivers are not allowed to drive that long. Hum is he reading this? Real cost, tolls, fuel. Boat, golf clubs, new fishing rod and shotgun as earned payment?
