I didn't post while on my trip but I'm back in North Carolina and will post when I can.

Biggest jerk I encountered on my trip--the guy who honked his horn at me when I slowed down on River Road (near Guerneville)in a construction zone where the lanes were not clearly marked and then honked at me again when I slowed down to turn into the driveway of Sonoma Orchid Inn where I was staying. He seriously wants me to risk my neck so he can get somewhere two or three minutes quicker!

Biggest hero of my trip--the lady who approached me in the parking lot near the Healdsburg UPS where I was shipping home ten bottles of wine and said tentatively "Jane?" I didn't know how she knew my name so asked "Did I drop something?" She asked my last name and then handed over my driver's license, US Army civilian ID card, a set of keys to my new Mazda parked near Raleigh-Durham airport and house key, another key, a compact and a lipstick. Apparently the zipper to that compartment of my purse was unzipped when I got out of the car and spilled its contents on the pavement and she had been looking for the person on the driver's license or a Mazda nearby. (My rental card was a Ford Focus.) I offered to reward her saying "That ID card is important!" but she wouldn't take any money. I realized later that without the ID card or driver's license I probably wouldn't be allowed to fly home since you need photo ID to go through security! I told the lady she made my day!
