Home Sweet Home (NOT Sweet Home Alabama)

After a really good nights sleep, we were up and away by 8:15. Most of last nights rain had cleared out, but unfortunately a thick fog had rolled in. Probably the first 3 to 4 hours of driving was in in fog with less than 400m visibility, so it was a little tiring. For some reason fog doesn’t worry me too much, I got used to driving in it in the UK. I find if you build up a mental picture of the traffic that has passed and then tag along behind a group, keeping the last guy in sight you have a reasonable idea of what is going on ahead.

We left West Virginia, went briefly through Virginia, even more briefly through Maryland, into Pennsylvania, New York and finally Ontario. Gas prices rose from $2.37 in South Carolina to $3.29 in New York State.

Customs was a five minute breeze, the did surprise me with a new question though ” Have you been in Africa within the last 21 days?”  I guess ebola is still creating some panic.

Paul and Amanda texted last night and offered us dinner if we wanted to stop by, which we did as it was free food! and some free Noah and Dylan time.

We finally got back to a toasty warm house thanks to an app that allowed me to turn up the thermostat when we stopped for lunch in Pennsylvania.

That’s it for this trip, now it’s time for all of you closet readers to come clean and leave a message so I can see if any one is reading this stuff.

Merry Christmas

Back in January.
