We are all cozy in our second night's hotel here in Harrisonburg, Virginia. We have stayed here 3 times before and actually spent a week at a timeshare nearby so we are relatively familiar with the area. This is a new hotel for us and it has a kitchen so we will make ourselves bagels for breakfast tomorrow morning.
Traffic was much heavier today but it was not quite as cold as yesterday, only 14 when we left this morning. It was 24 when we landed here this afternoon. we went to a local buffet that has very good food and ate and now we will just have cheese and crackers this evening to tide us over.
Not too much excitement but that is the way we like it. Tomorrow we will be staying in North Carolina. I did decide that I want to come back this fall or late summer for a vacation. I would like to visit the Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, PA and the Civil War Museum of Virginia in New Market. On the way back from Florida I think we will stop in Hershey to see the car museum and Gettsburg to visit the Eisenhower farm. So much to see, so little time. lol

Northern Florida is due for some snow I heard, so either floor it or take your sweet old time getting here. S. FL will only be in the 50s as a high on Thursday. My brother, his wife, and dog fly down that day. I suppose it is still much better than Connecticut.

@DianneN we take 81 then go by Charlotte and finally cut across South Carolina to 95. I like 81 not as many big cities and traffic as 95

@BelleStarr Either that or melted! I'm sure the main roads will be clear. Are you zigzagging your way down here? We took 95 straight down. Savannah took us hours to get to.

We try to think of it that way as well but of course, this major snowstorm is going to make our next leg rather interesting lol

I know what you mean since I can relate to your vacation challenges during my times when I went on vacation a few years back to Florida.
