use the blue tooth on the phone a friend thing. We are part of the Oprah no cell and driving thingy.
Never be the fastest car on the road. Let someone else lead the pack - and get the speeding ticket!
sometimes the sign saying "prisoners at work - do not stop" is further down the road than the workers.
Don't stop just to be safe.
YIKES, where are you going??? Prisoner's at work???
Thanks, gang! I'm about to shut down my cable modem and waiting for the moving company to come... Then off to the post office to figure out my mail situation... Then I'll have an early dinner with a good friend and then I cram the car with computer crap, business papers and clothes for an early morning departure. sigh.
So, to show I read the list, here are my 13 action items to handle the 13 traveling tips:
1) Iphone has a Starbucks locating app - I think there should be one somewhere in Illinois that I can pull over for an 8am break ;-)
2) My iPhone will be my life and connection to all other lives in the universe (except Him) over the next week or so...
3) See #2 - it dies, I'm dead! ;-)
4) I'm gonna go easy on the snacks...see, firstly, I'm gonna have a nice dinner in Louisvile with a really cool group of people... and secondly, I will gain about 10 pounds when I cross the South Carolina border from the smell of biscuits and gravy, chicken fried chicken, grits, collards, etc... ;-)
5) I NEVER do anymore! I'm over 40 you know :-)
6) I prepared Google maps as a backup and it's all highway anyways - I think 'll be fine (real men don't ask directions unless they have to and then only at gas stations! :-)
7) See #1 have tracking app ;-)
8) I have an charger/radio device - the iPod will be always charging while playing... And as you know, I have 16,000 songs to choose from ;-)
9) So, this is not the U.K., right? LOL!
10) I'll smile while I flip the bird (hey you can take the boy out of the Bronx, but...)
11) I cut the driving up into two days so 8 hours a day, rather than 16 straight through like I did to get out here - when I did that, I stopped 3 times and napped after lunch... I know the pace to set ;-)
12) ...but not necessarily in that order! LOL
13) I will - thanks!
I don't use the phone in the car as a rule at all and I'll stay away from chain gangs and try to avoid law enforcement vehicles in general as a rule :-)
Signing off...for now... ;-)
Word Ver - Hesse (wow!)
Tap...tap... is this thing on??? Hi, y'all from Greenville, SC ;-) Mini Mac survived the trip!
