Day 2: Busy Busy Busy UPDATED

Getting started on a cross country road trip is tough work! Today was good; we made great time to Jersey and got most of our errands done that needed to happen. I'll post a bigger update hopefully mid day tomorrow describing today's events; for now I must sleep because we NEED to be on the road by 8am if we are to reach DC by Noon!


UPDATE:
Obviously I did not get to do it Mid day today. But I do have some things to tell.

1. I got my new glasses. I really enjoy them and they allow me to drive at night with much less of a problem so that's a plus.

2. Got a new camera. The G6 has been discontinued but Canon has created the A620 which is like a mini G6 with different features. Its much faster and that's EXCELLENT!

3. Got awesome Monster Batteries for the camera. Normally I do not ecoguage buying from Monster or monster products because you pay a premium, but I used these before and get three times as much power as I do from conventional batteries which is always a plus.

4. Our final trip was to CVS for Alie.

2ND LESSON LEARNED: It will take a lot more time trying to get on the road then you think, so plan accordingly.

So with all the errands done we were able to hit the road on time today. For more on that check the post starting with Day 3.
