The good, the bad and the ugly

THE GOOD

• We left at 6:03 this morning - relatively close to the projected 5:45 take-off time!
• We arrived safely.
• Vaughn remembered an extra media card for the camera (see The Bad).
• We remembered the good stuff - Chivas and Captain Morgan (smuggled in empty Pepsi bottles).  Thanks to my parents for introducing this tradition to me (taking gin and vermouth on vacations for their martinis) and to my brother for continuing tradition (when he arranged for bottles of Chivas and Captain Morgan to be waiting for us in Maui several years ago).  What a way to end the day!

THE BAD

• We needed to stop before Baltimore  to re-secure (OK, actually secure (!) my luggage).
• I forgot to put the media card BACK in the camera last night after I downloaded pictures to my computer.
• Our leg (and other) muscles are seriously not used to 8 hours of riding.
• The less than 6 hour ride (according to Harley's RidePlanner) was more like 8 hours (OK, so that did include stops for breakfast and gas, but seriously?   8 hours?

THE UGLY

• The Garden State Parkway - ALL OF IT!!! Thank you Vaughn, for riding lead on this section of the trip!   :)
• Some road in New York or Connecticut that felt like we were riding along a railroad track!
• And the condition of the room after we hit it...

But the GOOD far out weighs the bad!
