I spent most of this week on I-95, driving from CT to FL. I might say I was pretty happy with it. It's a nice highway but I haven't seen my toll bill yet. I guess they automatically bill my E-ZPass account as I drive through so I've never seen a single toll-taker. Lots of cameras on the road however. They (whoever they are) know exactly how fast I was going. I hit 80 mph often as I was dodging and passing the trucks.

Rest areas through NY and MD were superb. I like the new vending machines where you get to pay with your cellphone. Just wave the cellphone at it and your stuff comes out. No more digging for change! Who knew you could get sandwiches from a rest area vending machine? I just found out that you could. It was $3. I think.

Driving through the Carolinas, kept seeing all those signs for "South of the Border." What a tourist trap that was. All that ballyhoo over pretty much nothing but a cheesy rip-off joint. Went to use the bathroom and some heavy set guy followed me in to give me paper towels to wash my hands with. Then I have him a couple of one dollar bills. Hope it was enough.

Spent a night in Savannah, Georgia. Checked out the Moon River brewery and I forgot who I was for a few hours. I must have had 10 of their beers but I somehow woke up in my hotel room so all ended well. I guess.

Now I'm in Florida and finally had to leave I-95 for I-4 as I head over to Marco's Island. It's in the 80s! No snow. No cold. Thank you for getting me there I-95.
