Windsor Locks, CT 10/1/2011

We both had a good nights sleep and went to check out the fare offered by the hotel.  Coffee fine, but limited choice of anything else. A couple of fellow guests joined us.  One of whom was a neighbor of the Webbs in New Hampshire; at least he knew where Landaff is located.  His accent was remarkable and he told us about his job as a tree cuter following the recent storms. He had 8"rain in one day at his house which created all sorts of problems.  His friend joined him and they said they were going to the  ET.  We asked what the ET was and the reply was, "You know, the fair."  Oh, where is it being held?  Neither knew, I guess the coffee had not kicked in yet.

We called spouses, and then took the free shuttle to the nearby Bradley International Airport, busiest airport in CT and 2nd busiest in New England, after Logan in Boston.  It is also one of 65 in the world than can handle the AirBus 380. We arrived and went looking for a store offering maps of the area and maybe something to eat.  There is one small shop offering a few books, newspapers and a new cafe seating about 10 and the rest of the places at beyond security.  We walked into the attached Sheraton Hotel and had a nice salad buffet.  I was hoping to locate maps of the East Coast Greenway which is going to be a linked system of trails down the east coast. We took the shuttle back to the motel and I loaded a few photos, watched a little football, rested, ate again, cleaned and serviced the bikes, looked at maps, made tentative plans where we might stay down the road, avoided walking up any hills.  In general, we took it easy.

I read some of the postings so far and cringed a bit at some of my spelling and sentence structure. i due tri too use good english but its a bit hard two dew some times when i am tired.  At least, that is my excuse.

I plan to post more photos in the same photo posting and I will also be adding items to the Along the Road posting.

It rained pretty hard this morning but has generally been overcast to misty most of the day. We are looking at possible rain tomorrow and plan to be up and out on the road early with plans to be in New York state tomorrow evening.
