Breakfast on a last day in New Jersey was again a treat, the highlight being tender, marinated steak with a dipping sauce made with special vinegar from the Philippines as well as the rice rolls and sardines in a sauce and way more food than I could eat..... Needless to say, we did not leave New Jersey hungry.
We did manage to get away about mid morning with firm directions on how to find the freeway to Chicago. Needless to say,.... we did leave New Jersey lost. One wrong turn and we found ourselves on Staten Island. Once we got ourselves turned around and began to rely on Karen again, we were o.k.
In the 'be careful in what you wish for category', this was probably the hottest day yet and I put the air conditioner on full blast for the first time. Unfortunately, this caused Julie to cough a great deal - hard to do when you are trying to concentrate on driving. We tried driving without air for awhile but it became unbearably hot. Our original destination of Akron, OH, suddenly became Clarion, PA.
We found a nice Quality Inn with a nearby Applebees. Neither of us were very hungry after four days of feasting and a very hot car ride.
