October 18, 2009. Marshall, Texas. GPS.

We would never have been able to map out our own route today, but the GPS sent us on a wonderful journey. Our journey took us right across Kentucky, using Parkways rather than Interstate Highways. The traffic was dramatically sparse so of course we loved it. The excellent roads we were on today were not even on our maps. Then the GPS sent us on Highway 59 instead of over to Dallas and south on 35, so here we are, staying the night in Marshall Texas.

Our journey today was lovely but long. We were on the road for twelve hours, with again the only stops to change driver every two hours and buy gas. In this new age, breakfast in the Motel is the normal drill. Complementary breakfast pleases me and certainly saves time. Tonight we are too weary to get into the car, so we are going to stay in the room and skip dinner. After all, we ate all day, every hour, so we are not short of calories. I will have a hot bath and watch the Baseball game. Soon we will be in San Antonio to see Suzanne and David and the four girls. We are getting there!!
