We were up after a very restful night. A quick shower, breakfast and we were on the road by 9.
One thing for sure was we did not want to have to travel through New York City. We planned our route and we are glad we did.
For those of you who are not aware Bernie and I both were transit drivers in Vancouver. Me 20 years, Bernie 32. We have driven those big buses all over, and in all kinds of traffic. But we now live in a quieter area of Nova Scotia where we rarely drive, and when we do we don't encounter heavy traffic.
I am quite impressed with the interstate system, but man the tolls. Something we are not use to. Sure there are some roads that have them in Canada but not many. In fact our drive from the West coast to the East Coast we did not have a single toll road. So that is a good thing. Sure our taxes are high but we get free roads to drive on.
Today we paid $15 in tolls. Sure we could do routes without them but they take longer. And again I did find the routes easy to drive on.
Again I am surprised how easy it is to go through so many states in a day. Pretty cool.
Tonight we are in Baltimore Maryland. It is just a stop for sleeping. Tomorrow we are off to Washington to see a few sites then we will overnight in Virginia somewhere.
I wanted to add we dined at Jimmy's Famous Seafood restaurant. We picked it because it is close and all the great reviews.
We had a great server, Libby and drinks, and the meal were outstanding.
Check out the crab stuffed wonton. Then for our entree we share the seafood combo - fish, scallops, shrimp, and a crab cake. Again we are glad we shared as we couldn't even finish it. Very yummy though.
We are staying at a Best Western just off the highway. It is showing it's age, but the beds are comfortable and the price was right. But probably would pick somewhere else next time.
