I finally arrived in Raleigh this morning around 1:00 AM after a long 14-hour solo drive from Chicago. I drove straight through Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina stopping only for gas and bathroom breaks. I’m very thankful to all those that kept me company through phone calls and helped me maintain my sanity. If you spend long hours in a car, I recommend listening to The Da Vinci Code Audiobook as an amazing way to pass the time. Today, Frank and I will head to our first stop, Virginia Beach, VA.
