Update
I'm safely in Northampton, bedding down with my sis for the night. We had take-out Indian food and made a quick jaunt to Target too.
I must have listened to at least 15 cd's today. Started out with a John Denver/Jewel disc, followed by some Alison Kraus. That was followed by some King Wilkie, Dixie Chicks, and a cd of world music. I can't remember the whole list, but it was long. Tomorrow will start off with a healthy dose of Tool, Warren Haynes, and a smattering of BareNaked Ladies.
Made the trip in just under 11 hours (10am-8:40pm); second leg tomorrow should take another 5.5 hours. I stopped twice. Once in Delaware because I almost nodded off while driving (around 2pm), and once again in New Jersey. I only drove on I-95 for a few miles out of NY into CT. That was a big mistake as I traveled about 1 mile in 30 minutes. Once I managed to exit, I consulted the atlas and found a parallel road just a few miles north of 95. So I skipped over to 15, aka the parkway, and it was both faster and more scenic. I will drive back that route too. :) (Note: if one thinks about the volume of traffic at the intersection that I was stuck in congested traffic in an Electric Circuit Network capacity, one might have concluded that the parkway was the way to go over the interstate. There's also the trial and error route... I'm a big proponent of that method. :))
Am tired now; must sleep...
