Post for August 9, 2014 Bethlehem, PA to Boston MA
I vaguely recall AC/DC on the iPod, rocking out to Highway to Hell because it's a good tune and fun to drive to. Not because we thought the drive would be of a traffic jam packed nature.
M. Sitbon took the wheel, as I was feeling very sleepy (and grumpy) after staying up well past midnight chatting with one of my new motoring friends. Absolutley no one in our little caravan was in a chipper mood that morning. Is this what happens when the end is near?
A long long line of MINIs was already in the queue waiting for the Rise and Shine festivities to commence. After a little coffee, I felt better. Even more so when I found this guy...
Everyday is a holiday with a PEEP, a fantastic cure for the grumpiest of travelers!
As we prepared to follow the crowd out of Bethlehem we discovered that Alex had misplaced the key to Felix. No worries, I had a spare and was confident that the missing key would turn up in DB and Todd's car (Alex had been helping to repack luggage in their car just prior to launch - jeez sounds like we were departing in space ships...). Anyway, I remained amazingly calm - we radioed our travel companions ahead, requesting a stop to find the missing key and viola! It was found.
And then the stupid traveling began. Can you say traffic jam? We played the game What is Worse?
A) Being buried alive enclosed in a room of brick?
B) driving your manual transmission MINI while stuck in stop and go traffic?
This while attempting to navigate our way across the GW Bridge.
Following the White Roof Radios gents was somewhat comical - as their nav system rerouted us away from traffic only to send us into more traffic. After multiple gas stops, bathroom breaks and a wonderful lunch that our resident food guide found for us it was lights out for me.
My deep thanks and appreciation to Alex Sitbon for motoring us into Boston. The nap was essential, there was still a party to attend...
