"Did you see the big silver statue of Jesus?"

It’s 1:04 PM. I’m driving with my dad in Maryland…? We’re listening to Barry Manilow. Good stuff!
It’s weird. To me, this just feels like I’m going to another semester of college – but in FL. We stopped off at a rest stop in Delaware. Yay for Roy Rogers and Arthur Treachers!
I’m excited for Virginia. It’ll be nice to have a mini-vacation with my family. LoL. We’re going to try to find a good restaurant for tonight. I remember going to Phillips with Lauren when we would have all the trips in high school to Washington, D.C. That was the best - with the all you can eat crabs and the hush puppies. Love.
I spoke to Becky yesterday. We’re meeting up on Tuesday. I’m gonna text message her when I get in to Florida.
I think I’m meeting Nicole, who is from PA, for lunch. That would be great. Hopefully we can check in to our hotel a little earlier than 4 PM since we’ll be getting in so early.
Later on I’ll meet Becky and her family for dinner. We might possibly meet up with the other CPers at the hotel for hot chocolate and dessert. If not, we’ll all probably be up early and eating breakfast together. I want to try and get to check in as soon as possible so we can get a good room. I’m thinking if I don’t sleep on the autotrain, I’ll be tired when I get to the hotel. I’ll take a small nap, meet people, and then go to bed early on Tuesday to get up early Wednesday morning.
Actually, scratch that. Then I won’t be alert to get to Orlando…
But I think I’ll be up early enough on Tuesday to want to go to bed early that night. 10 PM is the officially sleep time on the autotrain, and the wake up call for breakfast is 7 AM. Yeah. Exactly. I’m fine.
OK. I’m gonna go and play a bit STAR WARS KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II. It’s an okay game, but it encages you more than the first game (which had the best story line of life).
P.S. If you need reading material, I highly recommend Mary Roach’s SPOOK. Jim would praise her for her performative writing style!
