Today we hit the asphalt heading north for a welcome change in weather and scenery. We always talked of taking the scenic route - perhaps via the Outer Banks of North Carolina where there is a restaurant up there that displays an assortment of USLines memorabilia. Or we might consider a detour up to Tennessee to visit Jack Daniels grave and pay homage which is what Bing Crosby always talked about. But we always end up on Interstate 95 that colorless but functional thruway and layover in North Carolina to sample their grits. We like the Hampton Inn chain for their wireless and complimentary breakfasts - then it's on to Virginia heading east on US 58 where nobody exceeds the speed limit as we pass thru many small towns. Finally over the Chesapeake Bay bridge/tunnel and up the eastern shore to Delaware and a welcome ferry ride of one and a half hours to the southern tip of New Jersey i.e. Cape May. We hope to be wired but you never know up there. So my posting may be spotty but with all good intentions.
