    Wake up: 4:00am :biggrin_25518:...Got up: 5:00am.

    Hauling frozen chicken.


    Go wash up and grab coffee... do morning check in routine (hubby). Move across the street to get fuel and grab a couple of Wendy's breakfast sandwiches... and we're off!:biggrin_25519:


    Today we drove the last leg of this trip (about 500 miles) with the delivery set for the early am hours of Tuesday. It was a pleasant and uneventful, though extremely bumpy drive going through AZ (I-40) and CA (I-40, I-15, HWY 58 to I-5) up to Livermore, CA. We both love the open spaces and the desert so this is always a drive we look forward to!


    Lunch was a Subway sandwich we ate on the go... part of my stewardess duties... serve snacks and meals on board so we can keep rollin'. :biggrin_25525:

    I attempted some internet stuff, but nothing wanted to work for me, so after a couple of wasted hours I gave up and just enjoyed the scenery and a cup of truck brewed coffee.

    Dinner was at Peckos Grill located at Joe's Travel Plaza in Wesley, CA... just a bit south of Tracey. The Garlic Mushroom and Chicken dinner was wonderful and the service was good. Bought an antenna so we can now get some radio stations... woohoo!


    A bit of internet surfing, JCT Forum... playing Evony and reading... bedtime is here 10:00 pm central time. Hubby is already fast asleep and I am right behind him! :biggrin_25518:


    Total trip miles = 1945.
    MPG = 6.1
    No Pre-Trip yet.
