Florence SC - On Our Way North

Our Honda at the Hilton Home 2 Suites in Florence SC

We left Tallahassee about 9 AM for the trip north to see family and friends. It is the biggest trip so far in our Honda van. It took 9 hours to get here including stops for food - fuel - rest rooms. We hit some very heavy rains in South Carolina.

It was about 480 miles to here - we got 27 miles per gallon in the Honda. Our major entertainment was an audio book - Boys in the Boat - about the University of Washington rowing team going to the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

Lulu booked this hotel online from the car. It is a Suite including a kitchen - bath - living room - bedroom for $99 total. This is a brand new hotel.

Tomorrow we will arrive in Richmond VA.
