Monday, April 4th Leaving Kissimmee

It was our departure day from Kissimmee Florida.  We planned on driving as far as Staunton Virgina.  It was another bright sunny day around 20 C when we hit the road at 730 AM. 

The drive took us through the State of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina  on the I-95.  Then, we were routed to the I-26 and I-77 in North Carolina (Columbia area).  In Virgina we connected with the I-81.  Monday's drive of 1350 Kms ended at 745 PM.  We checked in to the motel and were in time for "Dancing with the Stars".  Needless to say; we were a little car weary from the 12 hour drive.  Helene was glued to the TV and using the telephone and Internet service.  I headed out for a BBQ roasted chicken, Cole slaw and of course a bottle of wine. 

As mentioned, the day started out at 20 C and hit a high of 31 C and when the car was parked in Staunton VA it was 24 C.  The winds had picked up throughout the day and storm advisories had been posted for possible tornado's and thunder storms.
