Virginia.....wow they've got you driving all over the place......

Well have a safe trip....

[Garry]

Well my trip took me to Gainsville VA, Washington DC, Baltimore, Philidephia, Scranton PA, and back home again

2600 Kilomiters 1560 miles in 3 days

Man do you guys ever have Big Cities

sure was glad to get back to my town of 2000 people and a cow

[joanrdtobe]

That's about 500 miles each day....that's a lot....how fast do you go and do you get to sleep?

[Debralee]

Hey Garry,
I am sure you are glad to get home after that time frame and route. Oh and Joan that is what I travel to get to Ct....about 500 miles. It takes me 10 hrs. usually...and don't stop too often cause the trip is long enough...glad there are lots of nice reststops in Vt tho'...you don't have to get off the beaten path too often that way...I have been known to get lost..lol..

[Garry]

Average of 50 miles an hour * 10 hours

2-3 hours for unloading , loading and stuff

leaves 8-10 hours a day to sleep , eat, shower

[joanrdtobe]

And they put you up in Ritz Carlton hotels where you eat, sleep and shower, right Garry???

Deb: Good fact to know: Connecticut to Canada: 500 miles....

[Spirit]

Joan..yeah he probably wishes they did.

But if he is like my hubby who used to burn those type of miles, it's a shower and meal at a truck stop and sleep in the sleeper on the Rig.

[Garry]

Yea its called THE Kenworth Suite and its located at the closest truck stop you can find.

The food is good and lots of it (but its pricey)
The showers are modern and clean and free when you fuel up there

and the bed which is in the truck is Air Conditioned , with a good stereo, a fridge , a tv , my portable computer, and internet acess at most truck stops,

but it sure ain't home

[joanrdtobe]

Well then in that case, returning home must feel WONDERFUL

[Garry]

you bet cha there Joan
