Kansas City to Lake Chautauqua

Sunday, May 9th, Kansas City to Jamestown- 14.5 hours 925 miles
We were up by 5:30 in KC, off by 6:15, both of us tired, Evie especially as she has a terrible cough, either sinus or a cold. It was a bit cloudy and cool, as we left KC, with our new GPS leading the way. It seems like we pushed it a bit too much, though the weather was fine, the day partly sunny, the traffic decent as we pushed our way East. The GPS gave us different directions for Indianapolis, so we disregarded them and took the beltway around the city. I am not sure where it was sending us. There is not much to say…we just kept driving. Evie helped out driving though she shouldn’t have, as she had a terrible cough and did not feel well the entire trip, ending up having either bronchitis or pneumonia, after seeing the doctor on the Monday of our return. I felt renewed once we got near Cleveland and the last two or three hours was easy, as I did not seem that tired. We both were exhausted from the drive, and it took a few days to become ourselves, especially Evie who continues to fight her cough, and as I write this, a week after our drive, we are just starting to feel normal. We did bring a LED tv with us, set it up a couple of days ago, and it really makes a difference. I hope we don’t spend our retirement watching tv.
