We had a busy day socializing yesterday in Cincinnati and in Kentucky! We had enough time to get to our pickup we were able to stop in Cincinnati to meet with Lawrence at the expediteonline.com office and then go enjoy an awesome Thai lunch, then we were off to Kentucky to a Wal-Mart to meet with other driving friends. Now the last time we saw this couple we were down in Naples FL and the time before that was in Alabama and who knows on the time before that. We were able to go have a nice supper and then since their truck has a nice table and bench seating we were able to sit and enjoy the rest of the evening and get caught up face to face instead of our normal email correspondence.
One of the neatest aspects of our way of life is that the United States becomes a very small area to traverse and meet up with fellow drivers. We have met one truck in Tampa Florida and enjoyed Busch Gardens and all the awesome roller coasters then the next summer we met up with them in Gilroy CA. We all rented a car and spent the day at Fisherman's Wharf and then the next day touring the Winchester Mansion. Now it has been almost two years and we can not catch up to them.
You just never know when you get up in the morning how the day will unfold. Of course most often as a team driver the first think I think of when I get up is where am I and which way is the building with the restroom!

You've definitely got that right on the whole country seeming much smaller after you've been driving for a while. I remember (before I started driving) when a two-hour trip somewhere seemed like a big deal. Now I've heard myself say things like, "Well, do you want to go ahead and pop over there? It's only 435 miles." :)
ReplyDeleteHey Hedon,
ReplyDeleteThat sure is the truth distance starts meaning little to us. We have such fond memories of running into friends all over the USA or even Canada and even if we do not have time to go do something we can spend hours just getting caught up. Sure a highlight in our day and proof everyday is an adventure.
