We left the boat and headed home to North Carolina on Monday, and the boat went into heated storage on Tuesday. Since we originally packed for a nine month trip, we had a lot of "Stuff" to squeeze into the car. It was packed so tightly that we could not see out of the rear window.
The price of gasoline changed significantly as we drove south:
NY: $2.71 per gal
PA: 2.85
VA: 2.60
NC: 2.59
SC: 2.51
We did not know what to expect when we arrived home. Heavy rain and wind from hurricane Irma were forecasted earlier in the week. We were pleasantly surprised with the condition of the yard and house. Our lawn service had been there the previous day and mowed and picked up any debree from surrounding trees. The only damage was the tattered flag that I left flying on the flagpole. I took that down and replaced it with a new flag, and there was no evidence of a storm.
On the way home we stayed at a Days Inn that was Pet friendly. However our room was very close to the ice machine. Every time it would drop ice, Lulu would start barking - this went on all night. I thought that we would be asked to leave, but apparently noone complained.
This will be our last posting until we begin our trip again next year. Hope that you all enjoyed the blog postings.
