Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Nasty Drive to NH       #256530 - 04/05/06 01:22 PM Edit Reply Quote TommyNY Reged: 04/29/04 Posts: 1530 Well, Tina and I just had one of the worst drives that we've ever experienced. I am up in NH on business and decided to bring Tina with me. We'll be here until Friday morning and then we are heading to Boston. The drive started out ok. I drove for about two hours and then Tina decided to take over. She received the short end of the stick. When she drove the visibility was 0 (nasty snow showers combined with water coming off of tractor trailers and agressive drivers) and we were really worried. Thanks be to God almighty we made it to our destination A-OK. Just thought I would share our adventure with the IBS gang. Tina seems ok now that she went for a swim and sat in the whirlpool... -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Nasty Drive to NH       #256531 - 04/05/06 01:27 PM Edit Reply Quote Snow for Sarala Reged: 03/12/03 Posts: 5430 Loc: West Coast, USA WOW!

Sounds rough!! I'm glad you've made it ok and are unwinding at the moment! I hope at least they put you up at a nice place. NH is such a fun place to visit, and so pretty in [almost] any weather! Have a great stay and fingers crossed that you'll be able to make it back in one piece! We actually had real snow here this morning-- I hope this nasty trend for April will not continue! ~nelly~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Nasty Drive to NH       #256538 - 04/05/06 01:46 PM Edit Reply Quote michele Reged: 06/02/03 Posts: 6886 Loc: southeastern michigan Ugh!

Poor Tommy has never heard me swear much but boy was I cursing. LOL! I was just so freaked out, but I think I was cursing at all the people that were cutting me off and tailgaiting. I'm used to that (I live in NYC after all..) but when there's zero visibility, they're just asking for an accident! A short swim and sit in the sauna did my wonders. I'm so glad I brought my swimsuit! The hotel has free drinks from 5-7 so I think there's a glass of wine with my name on it!

I'm glad you both are alright, and I hope you are able to enjoy your trip. I've been reading other posts about snow showers ect...and my mind is trying to justify your snow with this 85 degree sunny weather here in Alabama! Come on down if it gets too chilly up there! -------------------- God is Faithful!

I spent more than I was alloted...oops!!! There were SO many nice things to look at. Here what I bought: - a makeup holder with separate compartments for each type (eye makeup, lipstick,etc) - 3 thongs ( I never wear them but I caught a glimpse of my butt in my tight workout pants and was horrified! - a new water container for the gym with a spout (it's pretty clear aqua coloured) - SUPER cute Mary-Jane sock slippers (orange chenille) a very late b-day gift for a friend - in the $0.99 bin, a foral black beaded pony tail holder So I did well! Then I went to Macy's and bought the cutest denim skirt for only $25 on sale! p.s. I also bought a waffle maker! We eat pancakes almost every weekend and we both adore waffles so why not!

You had a great shopping day, didn't you? I'm glad you were able to go to Target - I feel bad for anyone who does not have one near them! When my BF and I got an apartment together we got A TON of things at Target - I love it! I think you've inspired me - I'll be visiting Target this weekend!!!!! -------------------- >>>>>>>><<<<<<<< Michelle IBS-A, pain predominant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: I LOVE Target!!       #256759 - 04/06/06 12:32 PM Edit Reply Quote Sara-Sage Reged: 02/04/04 Posts: 5508 I did have a great day!
