Clothes worn: Tee shirt, shorts and sneakers. BREAKFAST EATEN: A blueberry yogurt at home then a broiled chicken sandwich at Chick F Let on the way to the airport. PLACES VISITED: 9am packed for vacation. 10:30am left home traveling to airport. 11:30AM arrived at airport. 12:00 noon at gate waiting for flight. 12:40 pm flight leaves on schedule ( air traffic is backed up despite new 5th run way now open after 20 years and 2 Billion dollars of construction ( we did not fly out on 5th runway ). 3:30 pm arrive in Burlington, Vermont. 4:00pm get rental car. 4:14pm begin drive down route 87, then 7, then 22a toward Albany, NY. Pass Shelburne Museum ( will be visiting that on tuesday ). Incredible drive along the Vermont side of Lake Champlain south, then into Lake George area of New York. Passsing a lot of trucks towing horse trailers. Pass Saratoga Springs. Reaching destination of Albany, NY and arrive at hotel. Obtain reserved room, find dinner, unpack, call parents and send email to friends letting them know I have arrived. LUNCH EATEN: A McDonald's cheeseburger and large diet Coke in Whitehall, NY ( birthplace of the US Navy ). DINNER EATEN: French Onion soup with a Reuben and cole slaw ( I decided to eat something totally NY ). BED TIME: 11:00 pm Opinions: It has been a long while since I have been to this region before. The weather is in the mid to low 80s. Its incredible driving along Lake Champlain valley through Vermont. Small towns, farms everywhere. Even saw a round barn in Vergennes, VT. Then drove over into the Lake George area of NY ( part of the finger lake region and in the Applicain mountain area). I just never realized how popular camping is in this region. Despite the great temperatures outside there are camp fires everywhere. As your driving along you smell wood smoke. Finally get into the Saratoga Springs area. There has got to be some horsey event going on with all these expensive horse trailers. The region reminds me of Kentucky with horse farms and horse fenses all over. Then on to Albany, NY which is in the Saratoga Springs area. Can't wait for today to visit the New York State Museum. Not sure what I want to eat today. I'm thinking fish. The hotel serves a continental breakfast ( I hope they have yogurt ).
