Just past 10 am and we're already past Nashville TN. Took Hwy 40 right through town so we could see the tall buildings. Judy also enjoyed some facetime with Costco, it wasn't open yet - she was happy just seeing the sign.
Two things happen near Nashville, the time zone changes so you lose an hour (or gain an hour depending on how you look at it), and not too far west of Nashville you cross the mighty Tennessee River. Once past the Tennessee, you also have fewer hills to climb.
We did discuss taking the Natchez Trace south to New Orleans, but the weather forecast has rain and cooler temperatures ahead, so we'll stay on route to Memphis, and then Little Rock.
Sunny today, warm with a light breeze. Traffic moving well, roads are great. With the late October sun low on the horizon, it certainly puts the driver in the hot seat going west. Tinted windows recommended.
Fueled just west of Nashville, $3.29 a gallon.The fill up took 24 US gallons (91 litres) and cost $79. Based on the price per litre we paid on departing Kingston on Tuesday ($1.19) the savings was $29. There may be people reading this blog who will want to hear that US highway travel remains cheaper than Canadian travel.
Judy is starting to fidget, she's driving so I think we're close to a lunch stop. Nice thing about traveling in the coach is you have your kitchen with you. Lunch and a nap, and then off we go.
