If any of you are near a boob tube during lunchtime, I will be appearing (with my husband) on CTV with Todd Van Der Heyden today after 12:30 p.m. We will be talking about our “Drive I-95: Exit by Exit Info, Maps, History and Trivia” book.

If you (or anyone you know) are ever planning to drive South towards Florida, this book has pictorial maps, motels, radar traps, homemade food, 24-hour gas stations and pharmacies, 800-numbers for motels (and ones who take pets), golf courses and radio stations to tune to.

The fun stories about quirky museums, Americana trivia, towns to explore can be read for entertainment during the drive or may entice you to stop, stretch your legs and discover someplace new. www.drivei95.com
