I'm on the road again....

Next week is Arizona and last week was Spokane Washington.

So I flew into Pasco, stayed the night and did my first meeting, then drove 50 miles to my second meeting in Othello, another 26 to Moses Lake and met up with Seattle Jen. We had a great dinner at Inca's and did show and tell. Like last time she showed me some great Chatelaine pieces.

Then it was 132 miles to my hotel in Pullman and the good thing is that even though it was dark, at least it wasn't foggy the way that it was two years ago. In the morning I checked with both the hotel and the facility I was supposed to talking at and neither one had seen the box of the presentation packages. A phone call to the office confirmed that the box of supplies was sitting at my hotel in Pasco, they had been delivered about the time that I was in Othello.

So after my 9 am meeting (done without supplies) it was a 134 mile drive to Pasco and then another 135 miles to Spokane (ending up one hour later than the original meeting time). So due to the mis-shipped package, I ended up driving an extra 194 miles.

I also learned that the rural speed limit in Washington is 60 mph where it would be 75 mph in Utah.
I also started and finished The Jane Austen Book Club on CD. I think it would have made more sense if I was familiar with Austen's books. But it was entertaining enough to keep me awake.

Oh, my gosh! Having to drive all the way back to Pasco then to Spokane!!! That's insane. I'm so sorry! I hope that you didn't get pulled over, tickets can get really nasty here.

Umm, actually that's how I found out about the rural speed limit.
