I broke up my drive into three legs since the minimum rental for 900+ miles was four days. I was nervous about the labor of the drive but the idea of 4yrs living on only what I could pack into bags on airplanes and/or buy once I got up there was way scarier. So, a budget rental and a lot of gas later, I was in Boston with all my stuff.
Day 1
I drove to Chapel hill to meet up with Jaclyn and a few of my good friends. We grilled out, enjoyed a warm summer evening and said brief goodbyes.
Day 2
I stopped just outside of D.C. and had dinner and stayed with my high school friend Billy Arrington.
Day 3
All the way up to Boston. My previous idea of tolls involved throwing quarters into baskets attached to stations in the road. Boy was I wrong. $9 to drive through delaware?! What the hell, I was only in that tiny stated for 30 minutes. It got worse from there. In all I think the tolls were close to $40. My truck performed like a champion and averaged 13+ mpg the whole way. I had anticipated 10mpg so that's 30% less gas money...which I begrudgingly paid in tolls.
