Flying Scot NAC - Day 2 - Travel

Posted by Mark Taylor, FS4321

Well we are now in Norfolk Va. for the night. Yes, we deviated from the plan and took a "short cut". Dad made the executive call to bypass Washington and use the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Should be fun! Tried to book a ferry from Lewes Deleware to Cape May NJ but the time table did not work out for us. So tomorrow we will drive up Deleware and try to skirt Philly. Should be at the club early afternoon (knock on wood).

Traffic has been light with off and on rain. Got a feeling the stupid low (also known as Christobal) is going to be around all week playing with us.

Tonight we had a WTF moment. We checked into a marginal hotel, maybe at 50% capacity. An hour after settling in we got a call. They asked us to move our boat, we had to "make arrangements" for it elseware. Now I am well aware that trailors are not popular. I try to park at the end of the lot and take as few spots as I can. I believe we had 2 spots used. Most of the boat over grass. Soooo after a little banter we checked out of the hotel (full refund) and drove 3 miles down the road to a MUCH BETTER hotel. WTF??? I think they did us a big favor.
