Made it to NC

Posted on December 27th, 2007 by lynard

Well, not one of our better road trips.  We are using the new GPS and mostly it just managed to confuse me.  I even managed to get on a highway going in the wrong direction!  I’ve never done that before.  My DH woke up just as I realized my mistake and lets just say the rest of the trip was not pretty.  We made it after 13 hours and lots of HIS temper tantrums and my angry tears.  Argh!  Our marriage would be fine if we could just stay out of cars.

Anyway had a peaceful dinner with DD1 after we finally landed.  Had a mini-Christmas and all calmed down with a glass of wine.  I’m not looking forward to the drive on Sunday, but will not listen to that damned GPS this time.

I’m reading the book “Eat, Pray, Love” and must recommned it to all my frineds here on-line.  The author takes a year off from her regular life and travels to Italy, India and Indonisia.  Italy was all about food and my mouth was watering, but it’s also about taking time out jjust to be and enjoy - and now in India - lots about connecting with the spiritual side of life.

Well, got to go.  Bye for now…

    13 hours in 8 square feet tests anyone’s relationship!

    Glad you made it through w your sanity. Those GPS units take a bit of getting used to…

    Have fun on NYE :)

    There is no way in hell that I’m going to that ball drop thingie! I absolutely can’t handle the cold! Moving from LA to SF was a big climate change for me :)
    I think we’ll be in somewhere warm and watch it :)

    I am no snow bunny!

    You have fun :)

    How’s the book going? I am interested on the India part. :) I am planning to look it up too.

    I can completely identify with you on the car trip issues. Though I am very impressed that you drove so much. I start feeling like I am going into a trance if I drive more than 2 hours at a stretch. :) But I love going on road trips. Don’t get enough chance.

    Have fun,

    Thanks for the comments. I’ll let you all know how we do on the next “leg” of our journey on Sunday. We’re going to try some new behavior techniques to avoid getting so angry at each other.
