Travel Log: StarDate 11/05/2010

It started two days ago.... our 2010 vacation. Greg and I got up, finished packing and got the car loaded and were on the road, heading south by 6:00a.m. We drove over to John and Amber's to pick up their luggage. We were driving to Florida, but they were flying. So we took their luggage to make it a little easier on them. We got there right at 6:45. After briefly seeing Gonzo and Bella, we hugged Amber and got on the road.

Sheetz was our first stop! Gas and breakfast was first on the list of things to do. We stopped in Lumberton at Smithfield's for lunch. After all..... they have the best North Carolina style B-B-Q. I usually get a drumstick on the side, as their chicken is pretty darn good as well!

We made a couple other brief stops along the way, and still pulled in to Brunswick, Georgia right on schedule. We did make one unscheduled stop, not cause we wanted to.... but because the South Carolina Trooper pulled us over. A little matter of speeding. He was a nice guy and we were back on the road before you knew it.

After getting checked in, we headed out to find a fabric shop. Where this new Veracruz does not have the shade for the cargo area, I wanted to get some black fleece to lay over our stuff in the back. We ended up at Wal Mart, where they didn't have the fabric department, but we got a great deal on twin throws, that did the job.

I chose where we went for dinner. I chose Michael's Deli and it was a good pick. The prices were way cheap and the food was way good! Sounds like a win/win to me. I got a 21 piece fried fantail shrimp dinner, with mashed pots and gravy and green beans for $5.99. Greg chose a fried fish plate. It was very good!!

We wet back to the Hampton Inn and got settled in for the night. I sure was tired from driving.
