Long Haul

2100 miles and 32 hours of driving I finally made it to Newport News, VA. The area looks great I hope to meet other Vette drivers in the area so they can show me where to go and have some fun with the ride.

Glad you made it OK - that is a lot of driving. The Hampton Roads area of Virginia is nice - once you settle in take a trip down to Va. Beach and check out the sights.

You're moving from El Paso to VA? Welcome to the humidity.

No speeding tickets, right?

Nice area. Great golf courses in Williamsburg back up I-64 a bit. That road can be tempting - don't speed. Remember, no radar detectors allowed in VA.
