K well, It was really nice to see Miss Lis again and to catch up. That said, the trip sucked!  I don't really go anywhere and now i remember why.  I barely go to the store, let alone another state.  There are very very few pics because it RAINED the entire time I finally dried out yesterday.  Duane, being all helpful, set the GPS (who I named Walter so I could scream at  and so I wouldn't feel completely alone in the car) to take the least traffic root.  This worked well til I hit NJ where it dropped signal then proclaimed over and over again "Recalculating" when it finally stopped and spewed directions again I found myself sitting in line at the Holland tunnel.  After phoning Duane and chewing his ear off, I tried to maintain composure. 11:30 at night  and  and I'm driving around NYC not knowing where the Hell I am or how i am gonna get out of the city. I only brought 20 in cash and had spent 16 in tolls and coffee so there was no going back the way i came. I was smart enough to NOT go uptown and I finally found I 95. Connecticut was wonderful because there was NOTHING there, the cats escaped twice from the kennel and I spilt my coffee all down the front of me in the last 15 mins of the drive but I made it.  I didn't get to sleep until 6 am because Lis and i were talking and playing with the cats. when i woke up at 11 Lis was upset because Iggy (the newly named b &w kitten) was gone we spent 4 hours looking for him. then Lis had to work. I slept some more then sat down to get MY OWN directions home because Walter can stick it. My directions, just so you know were wonderful and I left Walter on to tell me his directions just so i could tell him "follow yourself" the sun did peep out a little that was nice and better yet I never saw NYC. When i pulled in the driveway I wanted to throw myself in the driveway and kiss the asfault. I never want to leave again.  Well not for a while anyway.
