We are slowing down our trek south due to Hurricane Wilma. Instead of arriving in Orlando today (Monday), we are going to wait until tomorrow. We will lose one day at Walt Disney World, but the weather should be okay by then. I know everyone has been worried about us getting too far south with Wilma coming, but we have been watching the reports very closely. We are in Waltersboro, South Carolina (it’s raining this morning) and will head to Savannah today and maybe down toward Jacksonville for the night. We’re going to look up Paula Deen’s restaurant in Savannah. (She’s the hostess of “Paula’s Home Cooking” on the Food Network.)
On Saturday, we left Washington and went to Colonial Williamsburg. We spent a good part of the day there and then found a motel in Lynchburg. We visited Appomatox Courthouse yesterday morning, and then drove south. It was a beautiful day, with blue skies and moderate temps. After so many days on country roads through small towns, we had almost forgotten how fast the interstates are. It was really smooth driving yesterday.
We have listened to two more books on tape; it’s sure a great way to pass the miles away. My thumb is feeling okay if I’m careful with it. Glenda is almost ready for some breakfast, so I better get dressed.
I’m glad you’re waiting for Wilma to pass. I was wondering if you would get caught. Seems like you’ve had lots of rain on this vacation. Now upload some more pictures!
I guess by now you have figured out that today was not a good day to arrive in Orlando. I just checked a local newspaper web site that said Disney was closed today but would reopen tomorrow, along with most everything else in the area. Not sure when the space center would reopen. All in all I’d say this has been an interesting and event filled vacation. Not exactly what you expected!
Keep dry and be careful.
Several times I have thought I wanted to ask for a refund on my sabbatical, but all in all, we have had a lot of fun in spite of all the weather and mis-location problems.
Okay, I posted some more pictures.
I see you are also taking your time updating your blog.
