So it begins...(again)

As I drove north yesterday I saw no less than 25 road signs telling me to "Plan ahead, winter storm warning." But being the intrepid traveler I am, I continued on to Vermont feeling like one of those storm chaser extreme weather reporters.

As expected, the snow arrived last night. It took me 45 minutes to get from the parking lot of my hotel to Dartmouth (a 7 mile drive). Sometimes I hate New England. I'm sure I would this this is beautiful if I had a personal driver. Maybe next time.

Other recent disappointments include a broken TV in my hotel room, no hair dryer, and a hotel breakfast that was so pathetic I opted for grocery store pop-tarts instead. This must be the travel gods testing me - preparing me for the season.

I'm glad I packed my snow boots. Wish me luck escaping this blizzard in the tin sedan I rented yesterday.
