I don't trust the GPS. I want to avoid that nasty I95 corridor without ending up on country roads. But the darn thing is not taking me the way I want to go. Kiel wants me to stop fussing, so I end up giving up and resign myself to arrive when we arrive and hope for smooth sailing that won't take forever to get us there.
They play their music and I had planned to listen to st olaf choir on my phone but the car we got from the rental company didn't have any convenient jacks other than the one the gps was using, so I ended up making the best of what was far from pleasant for me. Oh, well. Never mind. I am headed to see my grandchildren, and I can put up with back seat discomfort for a day or two.
Darkness falls, and Kiel wants to keep pushing. Andrea and I want to stop, but not having made advance reservations, it takes us awhile to find a place. We are all tired, but the buzz and hum of the car keeps us rattling until it finally faded from our bodies so we could rest. The hotel was none too great, but it was inexpensive and the beds were comfortable.
I was worried that I would keep everyone awake with my constant cough, but I think other things were factors in disrupting sleep. Good thing we have no particular deadline. Sometimes a trip will be what it wants to be and nothing you do can move it along. I am grateful for a place to get in out of the traffic and rest. Tomorrow will bring me hopefully to NC in one piece ready to be with the kids.
