Road Trip to the Northeast – Day 1
Day 1 – Heading Out, Heading East
I hit the road Tuesday morning. I got a late start, but I’m on vacation – why not sleep in some. 
I stopped at the grocery store and picked up some food to pack in the cooler for the road. I also stopped by Cracker Barrel to “rent” some audio books (which I never did listen to).
The weather was great for a road trip – sunny with temps in the 70s. I forgot to fill up the gas tank, so I had to stop just east of Columbus, but from there, I drove 7 hrs straight before stopping again. Made it to Allentown, PA then had to stop for gas and dinner. Such is the life of a goal/destination oriented individual. I get in the zone and just go go go. I saved some time at least, making up for the late start.
My goal for the day was simply to make it as far east as possible, hoping to make it to Connecticut. I did end up making it that far, pulling into a hotel just east of New Haven, CT around 11:30. The road trip took my through many states – OH, WV, PA, NJ, NY and CT. The trip was uneventful until I got to New York. I have been through Syracuse and Albany, but that’s the closest to NYC I’ve even been. Until that night… My route took me around the city, across the GW Bridge, but even that was enough to overwhelm this born and bred KY boy.
Thus were the adventures of the first day, which was mostly all about driving. More interesting stuff will come tomorrow
