last night on the road.
Candice and I are at our final destination before we hit NYC. We are currently at the Super 8 motel in Harrisville, PA… but it’s not really in Harrisville, it’s in a place called Barkeyville… weird. What they told us was that Harrisville was not big enough to have a post office, so that’s why their mailing address is different from their physical location. But it’s the mailing address that is posted on the web site. That made it kind of confusing to find. Anyway.. We ordered pizza to our room again… only they took an hour to deliver it.. 🙁
Tomorrow we have to get up earlier than we have been lately. We’re shooting to by in NYC around 3-4pm (eastern time.) Basically our drive consists of about 300 miles through Pennsylvania and about 50 through New Jersey and New York.
By the way… we found that we liked driving in some states a lot more than others. Here is our list of thumbs up states and thumbs down states.
Thumbs up:
-California (Losta traffic, but that’s where we’re from, so we gotta love it)
-Utah (It’s really pretty around Salt Lake City even though the lake stinks)
-Wyoming, Nebraska (farmland forever but an easy fast drive without much traffic)
-Iowa (I really like Des Moines. It was clean, but modern)
Thumbs down:
-Nevada (boring desert.. what else is there to say?)
-Illinois (traffic around Chicago is horrible!)
-Indiana (truck drivers around here don’t know how to drive)
-Ohio (The worst! Bad drivers AND they have toll roads everywhere. It cost us about 9 dollars just to drive through Ohio!)
By the way… Cingular lies about their coverage areas. According to the coverage map on their web site, they have coverage all across i-80 from coast to coast, but it is far from that. In Wyoming, we didn’t have coverage at all for several hundred miles.
Hopefully we’ll have some more pictures up soon.. Unfortunately, today’s drive was pretty boring.. We didn’t even stop anywhere that was interesting, so it will probably just be more pictures that we took of the dog. 😉
