Departing Cincinnati

500 miles are already down on day one.  We've made it to Cincinnati where we've traded in our Volkswagon Jedi for an Acura MDX which we'll use for the rest of the trip.  We are both enjoying the additional space it offers for cargo (we've got plenty of that -- photos to come soon).

Aubry has taken the wheel and is slowly re-learning how to drive an automatic transmission.

We hope to make it to Detroit, MI before midnight.

Dune on audiobook, just under 22 hours of unabridged classic sci-fi should make the drive feel a feel light years shorter.  Audible uses DRM -- challenge accepted!
