Day 1 - Escaping AK to E-Town

Bridget thought that a follow-up picture of the Christmas tree needed to be added to the blog. Still no ornaments but it’s up. Now that I’m finally sort of adjusted to cooler temperatures enough to enjoy riding, we fly out on the red-eye. I really hate these early morning flights as I always end up feeling "off" for a couple of days. I guess the good part is you arrive at your destination completely exhausted making it easier to adjust to the time difference.

We arrived in Baltimore, MD, by late afternoon. Just in time for rush-hour traffic. It really wasn't that bad compared to many other areas but it did slow us down enough so that we had to drive most of the way in the dark.

I guess one of the “benefits” of the right coast is the number of Cracker Barrel restaurants. Just plain food but on days like today, that’s a good thing. Anyway, tonight’s stop West Ridge Bed and Breakfast that we’ve stayed at several times before. Nicely furnished rooms, fantastic breakfasts, and decent Internet. It's kind of sad knowing that this will probably be the last time we will be staying here.
