Georgia on my Mind

Well, we arrived in Miami just 1 hour ago...... Yea, right. We are in Valdosta at the LaQuinta inn. The room is nice and they offer free liquor from 5-9pm!!! The weather is really nice. It is much less humid than St. Pete and I am looking forward to even less the further we go. It took about 4 hours to get here and we drove about 280 miles today. We left at 11am and was able to make it on only one tank of gas. We are getting about 14 miles to the tank right now. Hopefully it will continue. The scenery is very nice and the people are very friendly here. Dianne only had to stop at one rest area and I actually made the suggestion to stop. The van pulls the trailer pretty well. I am still getting used to driving with a trailer, but I am sure that I will be an expert by the time we get to Alaska.
I learned that either the speedometer is really off, or truckers, suvs, vans, cars, bikers, and old ladies in wheelchairs drive REALLY fast. I must have been doing 65 and was getting passed like I was standing still. I am starting to get a complex. The trailer doesn't have any weird tendencys like swaying at high speed or leaving the hitch. All the wireing works and I even have brake lights....... Dianne asked me where we are going to be tommorow, and I honestly have no idea. Is't kinda nice to not know where you are going to be. I will have to pull up the travel log that I created and figure out where (and in what state) we will be sleeping in. I do know that it is another La Quinta. At least I know we will be getting a decent breakfast for free again. Hopefully we will be on the road again tommorow by 10am. That way we will be at the next stop by 2-3pm (more like 3pm). Well, it's time for happy hour, so I will be going for now!!
