First Road Trip

[jerrym3]

Taking the 03 Bird on it's first extended road trip tomorrow. (Car has less than 5K on it and I've owned it since spring of 2003.)

Wednesday: heading from North Jersey to the White Mountain area of New Hampshire.

Thursday: New Hampshire to South Burlington, Vt.

Friday: in the company's South Burlington office till the late, late evening

Saturday: South Burlington (at dawn) to New Jersey; (Mapquest says 5 hours/5 minute trip)

Loaded up with three Pretenders CDs, every Moody Blues CD I own, and three CDs from "Eddie and the Cruisers" and the Eddie sequel "II" movie soundtracks.

Now if I could just get the weather to cooperate.

Based upon what I get in mileage now with a mix of city and highway driving (about 22 mpg), I'm planning on 400 miles per tank.

This is just the practice trip for the big one when I retire. East Coast to West Coast and return. (Told my wife, I have to do it once before father time make the trip too questionable.)

Burlington VT?

JerryM:
If your in Burlington VT, an excellant dining experience used to be on the water. A place called the Ice House. It actually used to be an old ice house where they cut chunks of ice from the lake for sale.
For an unusual experience, you have to go to "Zacks on the Rocks", at the foot of Jay Peak near Montgomery, VT. Just excellant food and you'll never forget the atmosphere. It's my understanding that lots of big names have dined there.
Just hate to see you drive all that distance and miss something. Besides, if you get to Zacks, that TBird will look good next to all the Limos.
