2600 miles and three time zones

We have discovered that when traveling eastward, you make a lot more progress if you actually go EAST. :) We spent the first three days driving south and went over 1000 miles sort of tacking sideways from where we actually want to be. Since then we have swung east and as of tonight will have occupied three time zones in three days! Apparently (and this is really Zen if you think about it) if you want to get somewhere, you've got to actually head that direction. :)
