Date: Sunday June 26 - Wednesday July 6
We intended to stop for the night half way between New Hampshire and Baltimore. But unfortunately, the only options required significant detours from our route. There wasn't even a Cracker Barrel. So we ended up making the whole drive in one day. It took us about twelve hours including a dinner break. The posted price for a 2 axle vehicle to cross the Delaware Memorial Bridge is $3.00. Our 2 axle RV plus the Saturn that we're towing should have cost $6.00, no? They charged us $16!!!!!!!!!!
We're "camping" at an RV "park" in Abingdon, MD. The site we have is actually quite nice, with a lovely panoramic view of the Bush River. We've got the coveted "full hookup," to include electric, water, sewer, cable, and wifi. The downside to this arrangement is that they have the campsites packed in like sardines, so we've got little to no privacy. And it's Independence Day weekend, so the campground is full and everyone wants to party hearty.
Since we arrived in Maryland we've accomplished a lot. I've had doctor's appointments, haircut and color, a pedicure, and gone shopping at old favorite locations. We've seen family and lots of old friends. We've met with financial and legal advisors. And I've eaten lots of crab cakes. I've been crab cake deprived since leaving Maryland in December 2009. I don't think there's a decent one anywhere in Florida.
