West Virginia, Mountain Mama

West Virginia borderMay 5 – Han and I exchanged sleeping arrangements and I slept in the single bed and Han took the larger blow up mattress. We both slept so much better and are prepared to get back on the road. Mind you I did not say “ready”, as I could have stuck around with my bestie a little longer.

But Han’s knee was calling for another medical opinion and Europe was only a couple more weeks out, So we had more fantastic coffee, Amy and I hugged a bunch and we packed up the car to begin our next journey: Destination Charleston West Virginia.

Lots of construction in the Metro Cleveland Area, but I think Ohio has the most reasonable, considerate, law abiding, non-aggressive drivers compared to any other state we have driven through. It could very well be the result of enforced behavior as we also witnessed a large police presence in Ohio; traffic police who take their jobs seriously.

We arrived in Charleston, it was raining, we were so tired we just stayed in our room and ate the beet hummus and chips that Amy had packed for us for dinner, because she knows how much we love the beet hummus, sadly very hard to get these days.

Travel Hint: Begin your day with a slower rate of speed and increase to your normal speed after about 30 minutes. Gives you time to wake up fully and acclimate yourself to new surroundings.

Then about 30 minutes away from your daily destination, slow down to about 60 mph, to relieve the stress built up from driving on the interstates. It will help you sleep better.
