On to Charlotte, NC




Our goal today is a shortish drive, to reach Charlotte, North Carolina. We're going to see and stay with a friend of mine from Tufts whom I haven't seen since we graduated back in 1990! It seems incredible that so much time has elapsed since college graduation, and I'm really looking forward to having an opportunity to catch up on everything that has happened over those many years, and to show off my family and meet hers.

I'm not sure what the wi-fi situation is going to be this evening, but just in case I don't get to update before tomorrow evening, our plan for Tuesday is to press on with another long day of driving (it should be about 7 hours, just over 400 miles), from Charlotte to Nashville. This route takes us up and over the Appalchians, and through the old stomping grounds of Mike's ancestors from before they migrated to Texas and subsequently Oklahoma.

400 miles. That's a lot of sleeping for Mike. I hope he doesn't get over tired.

LOL, you should have seen him today. He made the mistake of eating a croissant and a muffin before taking the wheel and pretty soon was blinking and slowing down--he painfully managed about an hour of driving before we had to switch.
