I started driving Tuesday morning. The idiot me, I forgot to load the map of Southern United States in my navigator. So, while driving Maryland on my way to Washington, DC, I have to turn around, make a detour, bumalik nang Delaware at dumaan sa pagkahaba-habang tulay sa gitna nang daga (pics later) at buti kamo yong sanpits ko eh andyan lang sa Virginia Beach. So, this was my 1st trip that took me 8+ hours of driving.
It was at my cousin’s house where I loaded the map that I need. You see, cheappanga ang lola and my navigator is not one of those na pag gi-on nimo eh otomatik update galling sa Iranian satellites. Mine? Ah-ah. Manual update ko sya nang satellite ko. Look what happened! Leche talaga!
My second leg took me from Virginia Beach to where I am right now. Kapuy kaayo mga kabisyo. Kung alam ko lang na ganito kahirap mag-drive nang solitaire, leche, di ko na ginawa to! Wala man lang nag-warning saken! Waaaa! So, here’s my 2nd trip.
I was lost in North Carolina sa lecheng I-85S nila which is also 40W at kung ano ano pang hinalong merging numeros! Leche! Grrr!
Am here sa Gaffney, South Carolina gumarahe sa isang magarang hotel. And it looks like, it will take me another 10-12 hours of driving from here to New Orleans. Now, you think I can manage that in one driving? Na-ah! So, I guess, I might have to make another overnight stay somewhere.
More na lang next time, kapuy na me. North Carolina has one very very nice highways that I have seen. Kaso, from Virginia, the weather was not cooperating and I have to stop driving dahil bundok na ang Tennessee and dito pa lang sa South Carolina uber na ang fog and i don’t want to take chances noh! Besides, natutulog na po me sa manibela! Tulog lang nang konti at maaga pa tomorrow! Grrr! Hirap nang corporate slave talaga! Kita nyo naman, di pa ako kumakain, blog muna ang inatupag! See?
