On the Road final take We’ve made it to NC

After 10 and a half hours in the car, with my leg cramping and my neck hurting, and the rain falling like an incessant, yammering fool, we half docked in our port for the week, this lovely, three-story, eight-bedroom house in the Buck Island development in Corolla, NC.

The dogs are a bit confused, spending so much time in the car — more than they've ever spent in the car — just to find themselves in a strange house.

The first day of any vacation is always lost to travel and provision-shopping. After a short rest, we'll unpack the car and head to Food Lion for food and beer.

I'll be blogging this week, but I'm can't say at this point how frequently.
