The 1,700 Mile Journey: Part 2

Several things that I learned while driving halfway across the country:
1. It is very depressing that the speed limit is 75 mph on the Oklahoma turnpike but I have to drive slower because I am pulling a u-haul
2. Missouri and Illinois have absolutely gorgeous and pastoral countrysides 
3. Indiana roads are horrendous and half of the roads in the state are under construction
4. There is a Cracker Barrel in almost every town in Ohio
5. When you drive the width of Pennsylvania it seems tor stretch on forever
6. The majority of highways and interstates in New England have a speed limit of 50 or 55 mph but everyone drives 70 mph
7. New Jersey road signs will take you the most complicated route possible to get back onto the interstate
8. New York has ridiculously high tolls for very short sections of road
9. Connecticut either doesn't believe in street signs or someone stole them all one Halloween and they were never replaced
10. A smile and a Southern accent works wonders :)


Made it to Groton!

The 1,700 Mile Journey: Part 1

After several requests from various friends, I decided to blog about living, working, and traveling in the Northeast. So...how did I end up moving from Oklahoma to Connecticut? 

Approximately 1742 miles
