We Are On The Road

Hi All, please forgive me if I haven't been responding to your comments. I am trying to do a little something tonight but we are two days into our drive home and frankly, I am exhausted. Al drive day one and today he didn't feel well enough to drive so I did the 314-mile drive. We arrived here in Wilson North Carolina at about 3:30 p.m.Luckily there is a very good hamburger joint within walking distance so we didn't have to drive out to eat. I have been writing for some assignments that I have been getting, I would rather not have the pressure of writing while traveling but unfortunately we can't always choose when opportunity calls. I really can use the money I am earning so my paid writing is coming first. Tomorrow we will make it to Virginia where we will stay for three days while visiting friends. I am looking forward to that. On Monday night we will be in Wilkes Barre, PA and then on Tuesday, we will arrive home. I will be very glad to sleep in my own bed, I was not impressed with the one I had last night. I am going to try to catch up a little and then I am going to sleep. If Al can drive tomorrow, I can MyLot a little as we drive along.

I can't wait to see all the pictures I just know you are taking. I've never been that far east and would love to see what you get to see. Have a safe journey and a fun visit.

Believe it or not, I didn't take many pictures this trip, I drove two legs so I was occupied with paying attention.

Have you ever considered installing a dash cam @BelleStarr ? As much as you get to travel it would be fun to see what kinds of shots it would get you, well to me anyway, I love looking at pictures.

We arrived home on Tuesday and no, not really. We are so tired, it is a long drive and Al is a little off. I hope to be back in the swing of things soon though.

@jaboUK Yes but we need to buy a car for Florida and there is not a really convenient airport but yes, it may have to become an option.

@BelleStarr Would flying not be an option for you another year?

I do hope the rest of your trip is uneventful. I can't do anything when I'm in a car except watch the road. I get carsick if I read or knit or whatever.

I figured out years ago if I only moved my eyes and not my head I could do things in the car, it was the head movement that made me sick.

@JudyEv The first thing I actually did was crochet and it shocked me; avoid looking out the side windows that movement can make you sick in my experience. But yes I can read I just keep my head facing forward and only move the eyeballs lol good luck

@BelleStarr That's interesting. Maybe I'll do some experimenting. If I get sick, I'll tell Vince it's your fault.

Hello friend! I can see how you would be exhausted! I envy you being able to make money writing. I've thought about starting a blog but have no clue where to start. I know you will be so happy to be back home.

I tried to mylot yesterday while waiting for someone at a swimming pool. Didn't work too well so I decided to just watch people swimming (slow connection on my phone!)

It is nice to earn from some paid writing sites, but I do not like the pressure it entails.
