Cooch's Mini MLB Trip: May 7-12

Weds, May 7: Travel from Lisbonia to New Jersey. Mount Holly, NJ to be exact.

Sat, May 10 and Sun, May 11: Pittsburgh, PA: Spring Hill Suites Marriott (223 Federal Street). This hotel was literally across the street from PNC Park! Sunday's game was rained out.

On Sunday, Cooch did a "duck tour" to tour the city with Just Ducky Tours. He also checked out Pittsburgh's Station Square (home to Hard Rock Cafe) and Heinz Field. Cooch also braved the local traffic (with his new Garmin GPS) and went to South Side Works theater to watch the movie, "Baby Mama."

Mon, May 12: Cooch drives from Pittsburgh, PA to Lisbonia. In one day. Over 720 miles of driving. 13.5 hours including all stops. I would not recommend this to others.

Nice trip, dude. Wish I could have joined you.

Does that GPS have the satellite radio built in? If so, that's pretty sweet.

it is "satellite radio ready," but i already had XM and Sirius receivers in my car. if XM and Sirius merge, i'll prob dump both receivers and activate that GPS.

and the GPS saved my life more than once on this trip! any future lavinius/cooch trips should include a GPS, especially given our geographical-challengedness.

I have a Pioneer receiver in my car that's XM ready/XM built in. It's nice not having to worry about a separate receiver. But I'd upgrade to that GPS/satellite receiver in a heartbeat! Very cool toy.

Was GPS technology prevalent during our '05 trip? Or did mainstream use become more widespread after that?
