The Peacemaker

SOMEWHERE IN PENNSYLVANIA-April 29 This will be a long driving day. According to our GPS we have about 750 miles and 15 1/5 hours to get to Chicago. Thankfully the weather has improved although it's still cold. The best part is we are now really heading west!

I realized today that one of the reasons Hank and I have been getting along so much better on this trip than in previous ones is our GPS. This A.M., in order to try to avoid the traffic into New York, we ignored the GPS

instructions and went back to the handy old map. While I believe I am a fairly good map reader, Hank begs to differ and so we had a few tense moments today as I tried to maneuver him around traffic with alternate routes. We did finally succeed in this endeavor and we are now back on the GPS system and sailing through beautiful Pennsylvania on Interstate 80.
