Day 1: Sunday, 12/28

Thus begins our trip. Jeannie wasn't done packing, so we had to add her office and kitchen junk, three bikes, deck furniture, and a bunch of plants to the already-almost-full truck. String is helpful when you have to pile stuff. We could have used more moving blankets, too. Start: Durham, NC (I-85 exit 172) End: Nashville, TN (I-40 exit 221) States: North Carolina, Tennessee Distance: 484 miles Time: 9 hours Hotel: Best Inns Meals: Bruegger's in Asheville Music:Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel Overheard on the two-way radio: Jeannie: Vanderbilt is stupid. David: Vanderbilt isn't stupid. Gettysburg is stupid. Jeannie: You're stupid. Accident of the day: Bending the truck trim trying to pull out of a gas station. Hooray for the limited damage waiver.
