Nothing like a good nights sleep after 1125 miles in a rough 24' truck ride towing our car to boot.

Sat morning at 9, three movers loaded the truck, then the car on the trailer, we left LI at 12:00, drove 4 miles and some idiot on his cell phone crossed the line and was headed straight into us head on,: I stood on the brakes and horn, missed each other by inches.......nice way to start a trip.

Started to snow as crossed the bridge into NJ, nothing was sticking just wet and a bit slow till Delaware. Then things got back to a normal pace of 65-70 mph, made to Emporia VA that night 525 miles, up & on the road again at 7, arrived at about 8PM, oh fun.

Our little Miata looks like a mud flap never seen a car so dirty from the rain & snow...

That's why we wanted a drink last night...
