Well we arrived with good weather all the way, our first nights stay was in Sturbridge at the Publick Inn which we found through the hotel book we stop and get each year at the information stops along the way. It was very different but very interesting .
The Inn is 240 years old and has a unique charm , walking through the many walkways can be a challenge but has lots of interesting features like a bakery on bottom floor which offers a bun and coffee in the morning before you hit the road. I was quite surprised how many locals hit the spot at 7 in the morning for a coffee fix.
We continued our journey not realizing it was presidents day weekend and looking for a hotel was next to impossible at 5 in the evening....After many attempts we found a place at Sleep Inn , Staunton, VA, a place we never stayed before but it was a great place at a good price.
Arrived in Myrtle Beach at 2:30 Saturday...........Still chilly but warmer than I hear New Brunswick is getting right now.
No plans to shop BUT.... those Presidents day sales were so good I had to get a few goodies.
Check in again next week .......
I have a little Satnav, it sits there in my car. A Satnav is a driver's friend it tells you where you are. I have a little Satnav, i've had it all my life. It's better than the normal ones, my Satnav is my wife.
It gives me full instructions, especially how to drive "It's sixty miles an hour", it says, "You're doing sixty five". It tells me when to stop and start, and when to use the brake And tells me that it's never ever, safe to overtake.
It tells me when a light is red, and when it goes to green It seems to know instinctively, just when to intervene. It lists the vehicles just in front, and all those to the rear. And taking this into account, it specifies my gear.
I'm sure no other driver, has so helpful a device. For when we leave and lock the car, it still gives its advice. It fills me up with counselling, each journey's pretty fraught. So why don't I exchange it, and get a quieter sort?
Ah well, you see, it cleans the house, makes sure I'm properly fed. It washes all my shirts and things, and keeps me warm in bed!
Despite all these advantages, and my tendency to scoff, I only wish that now and then, I could turn the bugger off.
