wireless mobile broadband is pretty cool

Care to share what service you are using?

Using Verizon. Works pretty good, better than hotel wi-fi in some cases.

It supports two networks, "broadband rev-a" (high speed comparable to DSL) and "national access" (or something like that) which is more like ISDN or 2X dialup.

The broadband rev-a works in most metro areas and along most interstate corridors. The slower connection appears to work anywhere you can get a cellphone signal.

One or the other worked every where and every time we used it on this trip.

last play..first half..the kick is gooood!
2nd half..first drive..moving the ball..turnover.
And as R said that was that

Really was suprised offense didnt score in the 2nd half.

But theres a clusterf###k at the top of the east standings.

Hey, I was driving down I-81 the exact same time. Was that you with the 2 UT flags attached to your SUV?

The highlight of my bi-annual trip to Tuscaloosa was Dreamland BBQ on Friday night and tailgating with friends from Bama before the game. The game, well...left much to be desired.

The trip to Starkville last weekend was better, what with Old Hickory Steakhouse in Columbus, MS and a win.

Oh, we did listen to the Kentucky-Florida and LSU-Auburn game on the XM coming back home Sat. night. The LSU football network coverage (XM uses the 'home' team broadcast) included regular election updates from the La. state elections.

I'm supprised you did'nt get a speeding ticket in Virginia.

did'nt get a speeding ticket in Virginia

Speeding. That could be a whole other blog post. No tickets for us. I'm not sure they do many speed checks along I-81 or other interstates along the way. On most interstates on this trip, the normal speed appeared to be 10-15 mph above the posted speed limit.

I took a mini roadtrip up the BRP up to Doughton Park then cut over to Marion Va. to return via I-81. I would have been in Marion when you posted.

The fall colors were fabulous, at least on and west of the Parkway.

I used AAA on-line TripTik to plan the trip north. It has a road advisory regarding New York City.

Alternate Routes:
If you would like to avoid potential congestion areas in the New York City metropolitan area, use the Garden State Parkway (in NJ west of the city) and Interstate 287 and the Tappan Zee Bridge (north of the city) for itineraries between the New England area and points south along the Interstate 95 corridor. See yellow highlighted route on map.

Since I had trouble the three times I drove out of Newark airport, I took it a step further going north. We took 209 and I-84 from Allentown, PA. Returning south we took 287. Both were fine.

We didn't avoid Beantown since we wanted to see the JFK Library and Museum. No real problems. Just expected traffic delays, no more so than downtown Atlanta. On the way to the JFK Library, we got waved down by a woman from Arkansas who now lives in Boston. She liked our "tag". Not sure if she meant the Tennessee license or the Democratic bumper stickers.

If anyone is a AAA member, I highly recommend their on-line triptik for road trips.
