Bruce's Travels

Wed. Nov. 30 On to Atlanta Up at 6:30 this morning. The kitties stayed pretty close, keeping the “pack” together for safety! I got up once to pee, get a drink of water, and actually turn on a little heat, as the entry door leaks air like a sieve! I cleaned up another fresh egg and sausage patty from the stuff I took from the ‘fridge at home. The comp breakfast here also had egg rounds and sausage patties, and the usual assortment of carbs, of which I had a bowl of raisin bran with milk and Splenda.

Nov. 29, let the adventure begin! On the road at 8:30 a.m., about an hour and a half later than I wanted, and that was due mostly to sleeping later than I thought I would (6:30) which is a good thing, because I wasn’t counting on a good night’s sleep. I finally hit the sack at about 11 p.m. Monday, so I got a good solid 7 hours sleep. Everything fit nicely into the Prius, including two kitties in two duffle bags, the litter box,...
