Day 1, January 2016 trip to Florida

It's been quite a while since our last trip, but here we go again.  We are heading for Florida for a few weeks in the warmth.  But our start was certainly a cold one: high 20's and clear in Montpelier this morning.  The cold was a nuisance in hooking up the car, which we will eventually be able to do in about five minutes, but as newbies to this it took more than twenty.

So after our last trip, Dan was sold on the idea of towing a car.  After trading cars this fall in order to have a tow-able vehicle (trading my Subaru Impreza for a Honda CRV) and after shelling out a lot of money to have the towing equipment installed, we are ready to give it a try.

We pulled in fairly early for the night at a KOA in Lumberton, NC, close to the SC line.  Dan has been fighting a cold and is low on energy, so a few hours of relaxation in late afternoon seemed like a good idea.  Tomorrow's drive should take us to the GA/FL border, with reservations at a Florida state park for Wednesday night.
