Three states...in Three hours

All,

My travels have taken me to Rehoboth Beach, DE. This is a pretty impressive area, I think, as there is water all around, yet farm land still scatters the region, too. I took the Cape May (NJ) Ferry yesterday to get here, saving me 4-5 hours of driving had I driven around the Delaware Bay. This was fun as I'd never taken a "drive on" ferry before. It was about a 75 minute ride and, though it was very cold as we left the bay and entered the Atlantic, I enjoyed the experience. Once we made it back on land, my hotel was only about 10 minutes away. I'm staying about 2 miles from the beach, so last night, after eating the best crab cakes I've ever tasted, I drove over to the ocean to hang out for a little bit. It was cold so I didn't stay very long, but I enjoyed looking out over the Atlantic, and realizing that this job had literally taken me coast to coast, as I did the same thing in Huntington Beach, CA a few months earlier!

Today, the day began in Ocean City, MD, before then heading even further south into the Eastern Shore of Virginia, the unique sliver of Commonwealth not physically connected to any other part of Virginia (except for the man-made bridge to Norfolk). I find this to be a pretty cool piece of trivia! Consequently, I realized by about 9:30 this morning that I had already been in 3 states! Pretty funny.

After work tomorrow, I'm off to Wilmington, DE where I'll stay for the night. Then, I'm driving to NYC where I'll spend time with friends and stay the night in Manhattan Saturday night. Sunday, I'll drive the rest of the way to Portland, ME, where I'll kick things off on Monday. Tuesday night, I'll be going to the Boston Red Sox-Tampa Bay Rays game at Fenway, which will fullfill a lifetime goal of mine to see a game at this baseball shrine! It will be a work event with customers, but still, I can't WAIT for this!

Well, my hotel room smells like wet paint and I'm starting to get dizzy looking at the computer screen, so I guess that's all for now.

Hope you're all well! Thanks for reading.

On the road,

Matt
