Everywhere I can think of that I’ve ridden this century:

Countries:

USA
France
Bonaire
Antigua

States:

North Carolina
Virginia
South Carolina
Florida
California
Washington
Idaho
Montana

Seems like an awfully short list; I’ll have to work on that.This list was composed in a state of desperation.  We’ve been in the car for 12 and a half hours now, driving home from Miami.  We should be home soon, but I’m getting awfully punchy.  And stiff.

However, there has been one small saving grace on this insane drive—the internet.  My husband has Verizon wireless broadband on his computer, and amazingly, we’ve had a connection most of the day.  So we’re riding along, and whichever one is not driving is using the computer to entertain the other one.  We’ve been doing things like checking which exits have a KFC (quite a few), mail-ordering obscene amounts of chocolate and books that I can’t find at the library (The Pedant in the Kitchen, by Julian Barnes—I’m quite excited), and figuring out the time difference between EST and Baghdad (8 hours).

At one point, Lee was IM-ing (that is a verb, right?) with his friend Erik, who also writes a blog (his is on business stuff), and was telling him how excited we are to have internet while driving.  So Erik wrote a post about how we were driving along surfing the ‘net.  So then Lee’s brother IM-ed to tell him that Erik had posted about us, so we surfed on over to his site, to read about how we’re driving down the highway, surfing the ‘net.

Hmm.  I think I feel like a dog chasing its own tail.  Maybe I should just watch movies, like the children.
