Which got me here to my other home town in almost exactly 11 hours, 30 minutes counting stops. The 803 miles was a door-to-door distance including the very slight detours to get on and off the Interstate for gas and bathroom breaks, of which there were only four the whole way. There would have been fewer but I rarely let myself get much below half a tank of gas if I can help it.
Honestly the time flew by. I contemplated 2008 in depth for a three hours or so, giving myself some more things to think about on the way back. The rest of the time I listened to the audiobooks I bought last night on iTunes. I had no idea how much I would enjoy that, or how fast it would make the trip seem. In what seemed like the blink of an eye after I had stopped for gas and reset my odometer I looked down to see how far I had gone. 183 miles. Wow.
Tomorrow I’ll post something on one of the two audiobooks I listened to today. It was really good. I’m a litle concerned – that audiobook thing made the trip seem so fast and easy that I just might be hooked….
