We're in Baltimore this morning (Dec 28th the start of day 3).
BJ wasn't feeling well our first day out; so our agenda got shifted a bit. We spent our first night in Kittery.
Off to a slow start, we had a short visit with Pat and Mabel (my cousin & aunt) yesterday afternoon.
But then we experienced driving hell to get to Baltimore:
Rain and dark made it difficult to get back on the turnpike near Princeton;
and then we experienced two LONG stretches of stop and go (mostly stop) traffic, caused by a)construction and b)an accident;
and finally we drove back and forth on the highway in Baltimore, until I finally gave up on the Tom-Tom, and we stopped to ask directions at a store. Luckily (the clerk was a ditz) a fellow there had at least some idea of the street we wanted and how to find it, so following his directions we found our hotel. (The TomTom hadn't been wrong; the streets are just too weird to follow the directions. Has anybody down here heard of the concept of a "block" ?)
We don't expect to get to Savannah until tomorrow (29th).
