Refu on the road to Ocean City New Jersey.

Greetings from Ocean City New Jersey, I have taken the blog on the road for the first time. Two hours and 140 miles away and tonite I write from the Jersey Shore. Its something that is going to be interesting as I will write about our time on the ocean. This is in effect extending our summer by a little bit. All this stuff gets prepared in the sense that we talk about what and where we are going in advance.

So in order to make the check in time of 10pm, I worked some time back and left work about 4pm getting home about 5pm and leaving for the shore. Now normally this trip would take 2 hours and would be a nice drive. Well we had rush hour traffic as we left locally and flowed slowly but steadily until we got to Philadelphia where the rush hour was crazy and it took us 75 minutes to get about 15 miles to the other side of the city and over to the state of New Jersey. Ahem we got slightly lost in Philadelphia around the older parts of the city, normally a beautiful area but frustrated with the local time of 8.30pm and with just 90 minutes until the check-in office would close we were in a desperate rush to make it to OCNJ. The other side of the bridge to New Jersey was really quite slow also and we wondered if we would be sleeping in the car. After some minutes of worry we finally finally made it to the check in office with sore backsides from being in the car for 4 hours. I hate rush hour traffic.!!!

We quickly grabbed something to eat and right now we are watching what may happen in Houston and Galvaston in Texas as hurricane Ike is coming to the mainland. This storm is massive and is 700 miles in diameter. Tomorrow its into the pool and into the ocean and then out to eat before we hit the board walk by the night hours. Now I am quickly getting tired and in order to be ready for tomorrow I will get some shuteye. Our room is just about better than basic, but we will for the most part be out of the room. Good Night from Ocean City.
