Today we drove 13 hours, 5 minutes (805 miles) from Wolcott, Connecticut to Conway, South Carolina. We drove around NYC instead of through it, it added a few miles, but saved much time. This was at the recommendation of friend Colleen who drives it often. GPS wanted to send us through the city, so we turned off the sound and ignored it. OH - and if you're ever driving down I-95 in Virginia - watch out for speed traps. We were warned, so we stayed within the speed limit, that changed from 55 to 60 to 65 and bounced around without apparent rhyme or reason. We think this whole east coast would be a great place to come on a less structured trip where we could stop and do the touristy thing. There is so much history here!
Marilyn Moffo is with us and we are meeting up with Sandy's high school friends: Colleen Malloy Wells (and finance Danny Franek - also a Wolcott HS Class of 66 alum), and Susan Snow Beadle (and husband Gary). We arrived shortly after 6, Susan and Gary were already here. We'll stay here the next 4 nights (3 days).
We had a wonderful leisurely supper - Danny had made 2 crock pots full of pot roast, carrots, fresh green beans, potatoes. Colleen had made carrot cake and lemon meringue pie that was as good as my mom use to make (and that is the highest compliment I can give!)
OH! and did I mention wine? When us girl friends of 45+ years get together, we collect the wine corks. We've started the bowl and we're up to 6 corks. (Marilyn and I brought the 2 corks we started in CT.) A good start to a good visit.
