Day 1 of Adventure

So, wish I could say that the trip to FL went off without a hitch. Apparently one hitch just wasn't enough. I currently sit in a nice little motel sipping Chateau Perico out of a little plastic cup after what could only be described as an eventful evening. The highlights of the trip thus far are:


Late departure due to my traveling companion locking her keys in her car. Dealable.

Great coffee and a free donut from an amicable Dunkin Donut dealer. Maybe our luck has changed.


Friendly waitress and cute mechanical pony at a North Carolina Texas Steakhouse. Yum, and yay all in one!


Torrential downpours intermixed with conversations of windshield wipers. Still having a good time.


Hydroplaning and at least three, count em, three full 360's off 95 into the mud puddle of life. Not so fun.


Water slowly rising in the cabin. Uh oh.


Startling knock on the window out of the darkness. Um...help?

Going broke getting the car out of the ditch and a place to sleep. Wait, how are we getting HOME?


Stay tuned for tomorrow's adventures! Who knows what's next! Shocking twist at the end of the episode to be sure!
