Arrived in Dover today, Monday, about noon. We left Charleston on Sunday after learning that there was no chance of getting a flight out for at least two or three days. There are more flights out of Dover, so we put the RV in storage and drove the Saturn up I-95, spent the night north of Richmond, VA, and drove thru DC and into Delaware today. Had delicious crabbcakes for lunch and spotted some birdwatchers on the beach who were counting banded ruddy turnstones and other shorebirds. The shorebirds here are feasting on horseshoe crabb eggs as they migrate north.
There were two flights to Rota, Spain, today, but one got cancelled. The remaining flight has 73 seats, and we will find out in about an hour if we are on it. If not, there are three flights to Rota tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that we are on the one today . . . or in worse case, tomorrow.
When we get back here after our vacation in Spain and Portugal, we plan to spend some time exploring the east coast from Virginia back down to Charleston. Gene wanted to beeline it to Dover, so we couldn't take the "scenic" route. And when you take the interstate, all you see is highway, semis and trees. Yawn.
