Finally got back online........

Left my cell phone/internet cable at home ( I thought), but linda couldn't find it. so.....ended up having to order another one from California, got it today. Tried to get online off and on all day, just couldn't get enough bars from the cell tower (wherever it is). Now it is evening, and everything is working fine even though there are only two bars on the phone....something there I don't understand!

We left home about 9:30 am last Wednesday, thinking that he beltway traffic would be thinned out....wrong! Didn't even get into Virginia before the snow started, and crazy things started to happen. Got off I95 on Route 66 and took the back way down to Fredericksburg. One lane of 95 was opened by the truck traffic, but the crazies were driving full speed in the left lane, and sliding off the road. We sat for about 1-1/2 hours in a traffic jam just outside Richmond where 25 trucks and cars were piled up. Finally made it to Emporia Virginia and spent the night. First time were ever stayed in a snowed-in CG and 16 degrees.

Next day we drove thru to Savannah Georgia and slept in a KOA CG. We couldn't check in at Jekyll Island until 12:00, so we took our time driving the 70 miles. Beautiful day there, but news said it would turn cold, and it did.....22 degrees that night. Caroll and Frank Stewart are staying at Villa by the Sea (about 1/4 mile from us), so we've spent quite a bit of time with them...eating out mostly. They've been here a couple of times before, so gave us a good tour.

Our fancy-smanzcy electric toliet gave out again...second time. It's a good thing that we like the thing, or I wouldn't bother with it...turn it into a flower planter. At least we can still manually flush it..last time couldn't even do that. Now got to find a Thetford service center to inspect it....one here in Brunswick is now a empty building. Next nearest is down near Ocala Florida.

We may stay here in Jekyll Island for a month. There is plenty to do here, good bicycling, hiking, and the weather ain't bad.
