Greensboro or Bust!

25 November 2019

Today, I left the house at 9 am headed for Greensboro, NC for Thanksgiving with my cousin Jimmie and her husband Stephen. They joined me in Fort Lauderdale last year and I’m looking forward to joining them this year in Greensboro. I am overnighting in Savannah at the Hilton Garden Inn. It’s a 7 1/2 hour drive (with numerous bathroom stops) from the house.

I stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn before two years ago during my cross country trip and was impressed. This one is located in downtown Savannah a couple of blocks from the river. I admit to some trepidation. The room is provided with both ear plugs and a white noise machine. I found out why when I walked down the block to get something to eat and discovered a night club on the same block as the hotel.

I did a quickie at 5 Guys and then decided to treat myself to a martini at Five Oaks Pub which was on the way back to the hotel. I was a little taken aback by the $24 martini. That’s Fort Lauderdale prices during the tourist season. I probably undertipped the bartender with $4 but he wasn’t the most outgoing person I’ve met.

The only slow part of the trip up I-95 was near Oakland Park in Fort Lauderdale. After that, it slowed just a little in Palm Beach but was fast moving after that.

I’m amazed at how many people who travel I-95 who don’t provide some common sense courtesy to other drivers and especially truckers. When a trucker comes up behind me, I try to pull over to let them pass. If they are coming onto the interstate, I pull over to allow them entrance. Most drivers also do the same but there’s always one or two that blindly ignore what truckers are trying to do and to keep out of the fast lane as legally required.

Then, there are those that pull up beside me like a bat out of hell, then match my speed so I can’t change lanes to let the trucker merge.

I arrived at the hotel in shorts and immediately changed into blue jeans and long sleeved shirt. It’s predicted to go down to 40F tonight.

I plan on an early night and an early start to Greensboro tomorrow. We have Thanksgiving dinner to prepare. I will make the cornbread dressing and I like to prepare it the day before. The dressing is always better with a little stale cornbread made the day before.

Jimmie and Stephen kindly offered their house as a base of operations so I can do day hikes in southern Virginia and northern North Carolina. I promised them I would not be insulted if they kicked me out if I became too much of a burden. After all, I’ll be there with them 6 days and you know what they say about company and fish.

In any case, I brought full camping gear in case. No so much as them throwing me out but in case I finish a hike too late to make it back to their place in Greensboro. Looks like the temperatures are going to be mostly in the 30’s at night with rain expected on the three days of hiking.

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
