Updates!!

  Hey Y'all,

So, we're traveling...

What's up?

We're meandering back to NE Tennessee, for doctors appointments again. So far it's been eventful! 

We got a late start Wednesday, partly due to not being ready, getting things done in the rain, and partly because we didn't want to leave. Thursday we woke up, got ready, started the van, and the belt came off. It was split in several places, and Chris is thinking it was a bad part. Luckily we were carrying a spare. After getting half way done, we got kicked out of that parking lot. So we moved, starting the process all over, and at 11am we were South bound again. 

Traffic was pretty light the rest of the way on that leg of our journey, except Cincinnati. I've always hated traveling through there anyhow, but coming |this close| to being forced off the road by a semi today was no fun. He was in the wrong lane and wasn't taking I 71, and didn't want to wait to get over potentially missing the exit, thankfully we had a few inches to spare and came out shook up, but not squashed.

After that it was pretty uneventful, traffic remained pretty light and we got through Lexington (I 75) with ease. After a trip to Buckee's we were on the road again. We did enjoy the scenery, and fall foliage too.

Corbin is where we called it a day, and we're finishing this trip today. We opted for a hotel last night. While there I'm writing the blog(s), Chris is working on editing a video, and we're just relaxing. To be honest we're a bit bummed this hotel doesn't seem to have cable, which seems odd. We took showers, found something to watch on the broadcast channels later this evening after we finished with our tasks. 

Dinner was be at the diner between the hotel and gas station, we heard good things, and the prices seemed fair. 10% off with our stay here (which includes breakfast). The diner was pretty good, we both enjoyed the steak. 

Once we get back "home" we have some organization and cleaning of the van to do, and it's definitely time to switch out the summer clothes, and grab an extra blanket from the storage unit. 

 Plans beyond my November appointment remain up in the air. Most routes from home base further south no longer exist, and we don't want or need to add to the unnecessary traffic through those areas hardest hit by Helene.

Any winter travel suggestions? Leave them in the comments below!

Have a great day,
