       Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son,

       and shall call His name Immanuel."

Comment by shangrilamama on December 16, 2014 at 9:45am: Amber, the tolls you'll encounter have a person to take cash. A very helpful hint is that the cash lane is on the right so don't get stuck in the left! We've made that drive a LOT cause husbands main company office is just north of Chicago and we're in MI.

Comment by diannep on December 16, 2014 at 9:42am: Good Morning!

Comment by CatMom509 on December 16, 2014 at 3:04am: Amber,

Just as an example, my Sailor daughter uses a toll road to get to a doctor in Virginia. There is no toll booth to pay there and she doesn't want to get an EZPass. The regular toll is either .75 cents or $1.00 depending on the time of day. When she gets the invoice, she is charged a $1.50 processing fee for each time she is on the toll road in addition to the toll fee itself. So it really adds up eventually. I know you can buy an EZPass for about $25, but not sure about other specifics. They have a website that you can check out.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 16, 2014 at 2:00am: Thank you maryjo!

Comment by diannep on December 16, 2014 at 12:29am: And you can text/call Sarge at: 847 212 0246

Comment by diannep on December 16, 2014 at 12:29am: johnspadaro@att.net (Sarge)

Comment by diannep on December 16, 2014 at 12:16am: Thanks so very much, maryjo! So appreciate you letting us know!

Amber: They have toll-by-plate in most of those areas, which are a little higher because they add administrative fee----pik of your tag, mailed invoice for the tolls. I remember Sarge saying a while back to check their website when in GL and try to pay them online then and it will save you money. Kind of generalizing a bit here....you may want to message Sarge and ask him about this.

Comment by maryjo on December 15, 2014 at 11:55pm: diannep...I agree the meet and greet should be posted here! That's why I mentioned that it was on fb so those of you who are our veteran members would know and could post it. I much prefer this site...fb gets a little crazy! But it seems not many people post on this site.
