Good luck I pulled up the road conditions map and 81 is showing icy from Chambersburg to 78 and 78 is showing icy into NJ. I'm not seeing any problems if you head east and take 95. Safe travels!!!!!!!!

I think near the NJ/PA border route 81/78 can't remember the town but the highway is at times almost like going up and down a mountain . I would hate to go down , climb that part of the interstate in snow or ice.

It is worth so much to my life that I can pretty much ignore winter altogether. Best move I ever made, coming to Florida 25 years ago - even with all the crazy here.

Brian is back to school after two weeks "off" (he worked, studied, etc.)

It's my turn. Don't know exactly which days, but I am freaking exhausted after this season and so are my staff. Everyone is requesting time off.

Very often, this would be Disney trip time for us, usually between the race and MLK day. It would be nice and slow most of the time. I mentioned that to Brian last night and he said I could go if I wanted. :bored: Like I would go without him. I mean, I probably wouldn't...

Nah. My Chase Disney Visa points gravy train looks about to dry up very soon. I'm able to build up a lot of points and go for free-ish all the time because I was using that card to pay for most of my inventory. As business has picked up, those inventory bills are pretty big. Some distributors don't take credit cards, or charge a fee making it not worth the points. The distro I used most had no such fee - until now. They want to charge 2.5% (and I only get 1% in points, so that's stupid.) Sure I can still use it for supplies, groceries, whatever - but it will never be anywhere near what I was spending on inventory. I'm hoping to end up next month with around $4K in points, so I'm hoping to book our September 15th anniversary DCL cruise - maybe 4 nights in the Caribbean. I think that will cover it, right? Including on-board spending. Then whatever else we earn, we can use for a 2-night WDW trip here or there, I guess.

Meanwhile, I have to figure out how to carve out a few days to relax sometime in the next two weeks, and then make it stick.

Yea, but it is still better then paying all the tolls going through NJ and Baltimore and then the parking lot south of DC. (in good weather)

I'm old school and I still don't have EZ pass. When going through Baltimore a few months ago on I-95, all the toll booth are all automated , toll booth collectors are ancient history. I got my bill in the mail 3 months later.

Similar up here in the Northeast. Some highways still have a few attended toll booths; many booths you just drive through. There's a camera that takes a photo of the license plate, and mails a bill to the owner of the car. (I suppose for people who drive a lot on the highways, it makes sense to get an EZ Pass, but if a person only uses the highways a few times a year, it's not worth it.)
