They have updated offloading procedures from when I last cruised years and years ago. We were off before we knew it. For customs, we walked through a steadily moving line, had our picture taken, and walked through a door. That was it!
Soon we were in the car and we dropped by a Costco to gas up and figure out our next move.
The one downside to renting a kilt: You have to return it. Because the store was in NJ, Carrie had to drive more in the state than she wanted to! There were no left turn lights where we were so it was common practice for left turners to try and dart off the light and clear before oncoming traffic collided with them. We figured it out after the first time or two, but it left a sour taste in Carrie's mouth judging from the mutters!
I took a picture of "Prospect" to possibly show a few of my students who live in a neighborhood with the same name.
Unfortunately, the kilt shop didn't open until 10 AM. We found a Dunkin Donuts, so I could get coffee. Carrie dropped by a UPS store to see what it would cost to ship the kilt to the store and save us the trip, but we decided it wasn't worth the cost.
That meant we got on the road south a lot later than everyone else. We hit more than our fair share of traffic snags on the way down. There was a Domino's truck driving at 80 mph and passing on the left like it was a car that concerned Carrie to the point she made me call the "How am I driving?" line.
Carrie drove to help battle her motion sickness. She hadn't been bothered much on the ship, but now Terra Firma felt like a tossing ocean. We only got to stop for a moment at Jama's to see everyone before she needed to keep on moving.
We stopped once in Maryland for CFA and then again at Yoder's in Madison for a bathroom break and snack. Yoder's has gone solar!
We stayed long enough to take care of our business and take a peek at all the animals.
