Actually, it was a very fun trip, and I love road trips, so all the traveling wasn't too bad. I originally drove to Saratoga Springs, a 9 hour drive. I parked the car, jumped in with Val and drove to Burlington, VT, where we met up with Jenney and another couple. We went to Lightfoot's concert, then caravaned across Rt. 2, through the beautiful White Mountains, to Bangor and saw Lightfoot again in Orono. The next day we all drove down I-95 to Portland (you guessed it... to see Lightfoot again). I didn't mind it at all, as I was the passenger and got to take in all the scenery.
We did the same thing a week or two later. I drove down again and we all met up to go to the Red Bank, NJ show, then took in the Glenside PA show the next night.
When we do this, Val always does the driving and I do the navigating, which probably explains why we are constantly getting lost. For instance, the short trip from Red Bank to Glenside took over four hours. We even got lost in Torrington, CT, and that time we had Jenney to guide us. We were driving along the Interstate, following Jenney's tail lights. I looked up and said, "Where did Jenney's tail lights go?" I started frantically looking around and spotted Jenney off to the side of us on an exit ramp. No big deal, I thought. We'll get off at the next exit and backtrack. Wrong....
We got lost and had to ask for directions.
One other time we got lost just trying to find our way out of a hotel parking lot. We started laughing uncontrollably and I said, "Let's just go back to the beginning, where we were parked, and start over. I just hope we don't run into Jenney. She'll think we're both crazy." We pulled into our parking space, and there was Jenney, standing there with her arms crossed, giving us that funny look. We were laughing so hard that we both had tears streaming out of our eyes. Jenney said, "What's going on? Don't tell me. You got lost." We tried to answer, but the words wouldn't come out, just too much laughter.
Oh, those were the days. So much fun.
Cathy
