Most Boring Days of Road Trip

[@sxychoc]

Been waiting to hear you made it to your new home safely. Enjoy!

[@SewingatMidnight]

Thanks Karla!

[@Penguinandpear]

LOL this video is great! Hope you are getting settled in now! x

[@SewingatMidnight]

I am putting the new place in order, Tim is not known for his housekeeping and he unpacked almost nothing, so I have a lot of work ahead of me!

[@Penguinandpear]

@@SewingatMidnight my husband is the same! Good luck!

[@Bunnymommyx4]

Glad you made it safe and sound. Hugs

A few years ago I drove from W.Virginia to Fulton MO. causing chaos on the roads. I had been doing an Art course and was going to stay with my American friend before flying back to the UK. My friend was terrified I would get arrested as I drive quite fast and usually ignore speed limits on Motorways. She made me promise to stick to the posted speed limit, which I did and ended up with miles of traffic behind me when I drove through a 10 mile stretch of roadworks. Eventually I was pulled over by the police so that all the traffic behind me could pass. I felt so embarrassed and had to explain my promise to the kind policeman who thought it a huge joke. Your video reminds me of the same sort of scenery......perhaps it was even the same road !

[@SewingatMidnight]

Lorna, that is hilarious!! My dad told me to use the 10% rule and it has served me well over the years. If you don't want a ticket, you can get away with about 10 percent over the speed limit. So if its 65, I go about 71. Now, if I can see miles and miles ahead of me, I will blast off like a rocket!

Should have stopped in Missouri and took a day and dug for diamonds 💎😍 Have a safe trip!

[@SewingatMidnight]

WHAT!!!!! I had no idea!!

[@christinemartin9449]

Hi from England. Maybe it is boring but interesting at the same time!!!! We used to live in Spain and it reminded me of driving from north to south, just hundreds of miles of empty motorway with no scenery at either side. Not like over here in U.K., for one you couldnot drive for days from one place to another and two, all the motorways are crowded (well most). Looking forward to seeing your new home, drive carefully. Thank you for doing these videos.

[@barbarasews2799]

Yeh Kansas. That's where I live. I was born in Illinois. I just watched an episode on Dr. Phil called Dirty John. Also a Dateline episode as well.

[@SewingatMidnight]

It was so good! Once in a while, Tim gives me a good recommendation. I love Podcasts for sewing, but usually prefer music while in the car. It was a nice change of pace for about 8 hours though.

[@SaturdaySewing]

Thanks for taking us on a ride. Happy trails.

[@SewingatMidnight]

No problem Debbie, I am going to try to get some more up, I was having a really tough time with the hotel Wifi.

[@sagepreaumx9903]

What was your route? You went through Michigan then through Ohio then Indiana? I thought you lived in Maryland. We missed Illinois (LOL, that's good). Yes that would be a flat, no-scenery kind of drive. But it IS winter so it's good there aren't mountains to cross. How long did it take you? What is your destination?

[@SewingatMidnight]

Sage, I went from Maryland to Michigan to visit with my family for a few days, then I went from Michigan down to AZ, making sure I hit 4 corners monument on the way. I have more video, I just had a ton of trouble uploading it with hotel wifi. I left Michigan on Tuesday and I got here on Friday evening. I was very round about, I kept changing my mind on the route and I did a lot of it off the highways so I could see some scenery!

[@karina543]

That is not motorcycle roads 😂 only 2 curves 😂😂 thanks for the update ☺️

[@SewingatMidnight]

Karina, sadly I managed to only do the twisty turny treacherous stuff in the dead of night like an idiot! Thought Colorado was going to be the death of me!

[@SewNaturalDane]

455 miles in one state is a lot😂but you are conquering it. I remember when we drove down to Texas, I was spent so hoping you are getting rest. I imagine you are getting close or arrived in Arizona. I'm behind on videos 😄😄

[@SewingatMidnight]

I tried to stop by nine every night so that I didn't get sleepy while driving, and it worked out really well for me, but that had me driving for about 12 hours a day. I made sure that I stopped at a place I could sit down at for lunch so I could walk around a bit. It mostly made my back ache after about hour 9.

[@raquelseydewitz203]

This expat loved your road trip video. I’m a bit carsick not, but loved the scenery.

[@SewingatMidnight]

There is more, I just had terrible hotel wifi and couldn't upload.

[@Bunnymommyx4]

I’m so glad you decided to share your ride. I haven’t been on a road trip outside of CA in so long. If you were here, you’d be seeing green everywhere 💐

[@SewingatMidnight]

Kathryn, I am working on getting some more footage up, I have had some problems trying to upload while on the road. Hotel wifi is not as fast as I needed it to be!

[@tammiethompson7648]

Safe travels.

[@SewingatMidnight]

Thanks Tammie, they were mostly safe, only one near death experience.

[@nancywaines8871]

I just want to see Arizona! Haha, be safe. ✌️

[@SewingatMidnight]

I have some footage, but when I arrived to the house it was like a tornado went through it, so its going to be a while before I can sit down and upload. Maybe. Keep watching!

[@nancywaines8871]

I would expect you will be busy for sometime. Take care of yourself! Photos/videos will come in time. 🥂🧘‍♀️🍹

[@loriwithers618]

Happy trails through Kansas. It's my hometown. Went to KState in Manhattan. It's called the fly over state because we are in the middle of the US. Us Kansans' say KEEP FLYING over, we are a fabulous state to live in and don't want to get over crowded. LOL....

[@SewingatMidnight]

Turns out, Kansas is beautiful! Sounds like you and Karla are neighbors!

[@lilolmecj]

There is so much beautiful country, but after about six days, it all starts to run together...be safe!

[@SewingatMidnight]

That is exactly how I was feeling until Colorado tried to murder me. Hopefully I can get a video posted to explain.

[@TaTyTa-b9i-sewing]

Lol! You are one funny girl. I've lived in Kansas and Missouri, live in Arkansas right now, was born in Kansas also. Nice video, very entertaining to watch.

[@SewingatMidnight]

Thank you! I have some more exciting landscape footage, but I kept getting error messages when I tried to upload, now that I am home, I will try again.

[@TaTyTa-b9i-sewing]

@@SewingatMidnight you're welcome, can't wait to see that video.

[@sxychoc]

I'll wave when i see you pass thru Kansas City and all of Kansas!

[@SewingatMidnight]

I am sure that I saw you waving Karla! Also, I have decided that Kansas is a lovely state. Beautiful rolling hills and blue sky as far as the eye could see, even in winter it had some majesty to it.

[@sxychoc]

My home town is Manhattan...home of the Wildcats

[@SewingatMidnight]

I need to see if I can get some more footage up, I was having a lot of problems with uploading from hotel rooms. Go Wildcats!

[@bvsmith42]

Be careful and safe out there.

[@SewingatMidnight]

I did my best and it paid off, I made it!

[@paulamattsson99]

Safe journey,do you really have enough space with all that stuff sticking up behind and beside you ☺

[@SewingatMidnight]

Paula, it wasn't my favorite way to drive, but I had a clear view out of the rearview and most of the side windows. It was a tight squeeze, and you would not believe the volume of stuff I managed to fit into a tiny Camry!

[@vivmomsews4962]

👋👍

[@judywize7411]

If you are going g through Colorado be careful . I 70 has been closed due to avalanches.

[@SewingatMidnight]

Thanks Judy, my mom was screaming in my ear about that the whole way too. I ended up turning down and tracked south before I hit the mountains, took 160 all the way to Arizona. Turns out it wasn't much safer, but I did survive it!

[@teresacasteel6106]

Hi Nikki. Be careful.

[@SewingatMidnight]

Teresa Casteel wait till you see today’s video! I didn’t even get to film the 20 minutes that I stared down death via Wolf Creek Pass!!! I’m done being an adventurous idiot I think...

[@emmalouise4443]

The excitement comes later when you meet up with other half lol sadly reality sometimes let’s us down yay road trip oh miles and miles of road lol

[@SewingatMidnight]

Oh Emma, he thought I was never going to get here! I am happily reunited with Tim and my precious Meowzer, and the dog.

[@rachelwible6070]

Yeah drove threw all that too! Boring!

[@SewingatMidnight]

Beautiful in its own way, but yes, a bit boring for video footage

[@michellebrown6394]

So wish I would of known you were in Missouri!! You drove right by my town. We could of meet up!!

[@SewingatMidnight]

Michelle Brown I would have loved a pit stop! I didn’t have a set route to take, or I would have told everyone. I kept changing my mind as I went, LOL

[@michellebrown6394]

Sewing at Midnight so glad that you made your destination!!
