Lessons we’ve learned on this road trip:
- Warn the bank that you’re about to leave on a road trip. Otherwise, they’ll reject your bank card when you try to pick up an emergency refill of a medication that costs $200.
- The further east you go, the more water you see.
- The further east you go, the more expensive the gas.
- Eight days in the car with a seatbelt across your front makes for very sore boobs.
- They must have a law in Florida about handicapped toilets, because they all have their own private sink and paper towels.
- 50 miles of the Ponchartrain Bridge can get old. (It’s 10 miles long and we crossed it 5 times — 2 of which were by mistake.)
- Make sure you’re not in town on game day. Otherwise, you’ll get snarled in some pretty gnarly traffic around the Superdome.
