Jimmy and I left at 10 am on Saturday morning and by the time we got back last night we had traveled 1605 beautiful miles!Beautiful but got boring after a while of 35 miles and hour. We didn't do the whole thing, we had too much to see yet and a long way to go!
From there we went down to the Smokey Mountains and spent the night just before Pigeon Forge.
Jimmy wanted to check out Dolly.
That was a lot of fun!!!
Road a Steam engine and we even went on a roller coaster!
After leaving Dolly Wood we crossed over into Cherokee. I haven't been there in years and it's getting very old looking.
But of course the view was breath taking!
Cruising across South Carolina North Carolina, we headed for Virginia Beach.
South Carolina at Sunset.
Virginia Beach is definitely for lovers! What a beautiful place!
I Love the sunrise at the beach!
After a 8 am swim in the ocean, we where off again! The water was incredible. I would have thought it would be freezing! But it was a nice temp and I'm glad Jimmy talked me into the swim. What a blast!
Next came the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. I'd love to know how they put the tunnels into it!
Up the coast to Ocean City for lunch and a bike ride on the board walk. I forgot my camera! :-(
We wanted to stop up in Baltimore to visit U.C. but the time got away from us and rush hour was hitting the city. So we opted out of the insanity and veared off to Philly then north to home.
I wanted so bad to meet her.....I'll just have to meet her in N.Y. when she travels up that way! It'll be nicer anyway....we'll have more time to sit and chat!
Jimmy is a trooper! He drove until his butt hurt and his legs killed him. 1605 miles and not a complaint about it! Now that's true love!!!
Well...12 days until my last Hep A & B vacine. 65 days until we go to Hershey.
It's been 109 days since I told my Sister about my Hep C.....and I haven't heard from her since. Took me 20 years to find her (after not seeing her since I was 13) and it took one 10 minute phone call to loose her again.... yeah well.
I don't think I'll tell my Mother. But if she finds out and does the same thing....I lived 20 years of my life without them, I guess I could live the rest of it the same way. I wish it were different...but it's not.
187 days since I found out. Time rushes by.I have the feeling my counting has just begun.

A half a year since you were diagnosed...the sister's behavior - inexcusable, now you see why I don't tell anyone. We will meet this year, before fall changes to winter, wish we could have done it on Tuesday, but I had a bad feeling about the bridge from the Eastern Shore to Annapolis, even before I got home and saw the tie-up on the TV news - one does not approach that bridge without updated traffic information, especially at close to 4:PM! Talk to you again soon.
You saved us from having to sit in all of that traffic! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! LOL...looked like a major mess. 5 mile backup!
October 13th, I Will Be There!
Shopping in NY...got lots of Christmas presents to buy! And Lots of questions to ask. I can't wait!
Thanks U.C.!
Hey, I didn't know about your sister...that really is a shame and I have to admit I'm kind of pissed off about it.
Just remember you always have me around to talk to or email. And you know where I live so you can always stop by.
Amanda, it's ok. I'm just glad that I was able to find them and learn about them and my family.
I have wonderful childhood memories to hold onto and now some adult memories with them also.
I am not sorry for finding them.
With such a large gap in between...I guess this is all it takes to loose her again.
I don't understand it...but it's just the way it is.I wish it where different, but it's not. Those kinds of "Happily ever after's" only happen in fairy tales.
I have my real "happily ever after" right here with your Dad and all of you kids. I don't need my past as much as I need my present and my future.
One day I will see her again...I knew it 20 some odd years ago, and I know it now.
What are sister made for? To help you when you need it most. There are things you can always forgive, just close your eyes and pretend nothing had happened. But there are things you can't forgive no matter what: it's ignorance during the illness or the treatment like ours! I've lost a close friend because she would not bother to call me when I've needed it the most and when finally she called I spoke with her like as if she was a stranger. She was hurt.
Yes, we all will meet in NY but I'm afraid it will be on 20th. Very excited!
The 20th will be awesome! My calendar is set, my plans are made. I'll see you and U.C. in N.Y. on Saturday the 20th!
I'm soooo Excited!
