After a fantastic evening/night yesterday with just about all of my siblings (Frank, Zoe, Stan and Ken) I spent the morning being lazy and slowly finished my packing. Remember that procrastination thing I was mentioning, I didn't leave the house until about 4:30 this afternoon at which point I still had last minute stops to make before officially hitting the road. Needless to say, I was able to get on the road at just about the perfect time (around 5:30) so that I hit only minimal traffic on my route. I just finished driving 6.5 hours, it's now after midnight and I've checked into a hotel (Hilton of course, have to earn those points!) in Clifton Park, NY. For those of you that are as unfamiliar with NY state geography as I am, that's just outside of Schenectedy and according to my cell phone that leaves me about 2 hours and some change from Middlebury.
I had a nice smooth ride. I think there was only one "Mia singing and dancing like a crazy person while driving incident" (it's not my fault they played Kimbra's Warrior with Carly Rae right after it). And so far, driving through NY has been the best segment of the journey since I got out of MD and off of Route 15. Probably because it was pretty late by the time I got into the state so I had fairly empty roads.
Fifi needs a serious car wash but other than that, she's been great to drive. All of her perks (integrated handsfree bluetooth, Sirius, USB aux jack, low gas mileage, etc, etc, etc) have really helped with that. Well, I had best get to bed (and reading Game of Thrones if I want any chance of finishing the book before I'm not allowed to read anymore of it).
Also, so far I've really just been using my cell for some quick photos here so if you're interested in seeing those, you can catch them on Instagram, Twitter (both @miapezz), and Facebook. Ah the modern world, you'll all be totally sick of my updates in a day or two!
Buona notte a tutti!
