ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY...

 no matter what right? Hmm, how bout a flat tire on I 95 N? I am still laughing about that. I work or a roadside service company. I knew what to expect. I was pleasantly surprized to have a very nice tow truck operator come to my rescue. He was very friend, efficent, and we conversed all the way to Brunwick GA. He even convinced me to give the Garmin/gps machines a try. Frankly I think people are dummer with the GPS. They have no idea what freeway they are traveling, what direction, have no idea what the last exit was they just passed. I mean when I have been in the car with someone that has one, normally they are okay for the first 10min or so, then they start telling you to turn around, or that your driving in water when your on land? Baffling? I dont get the need. What I do appreciate... having AAA when i broke down. If your not a member, then join! I paid absolutely nothing for my 70 mile tow from Jacksonville to my next destination, and I had up to 200 miles if i had needed them. Definitely worth the yearly fee!

august 1... its finally here!

We are in Jacksonville! I cannot believe our trip has finally started. We left Orlando at 12pm. We had a little snag with an accident on I 4 E, but other than that it was smooth sailing. We our at my moms friends house June & Roy. We have so many people to see while we are here. People I went to school with, people that I grew up with and lived near. Jacquez wants to see my old house on Rover Dr. Ah, the memories. I loved that house. If it was for sale I would go buy it right now. Funny, I would buy the house, but, I dont want to live in Jacksonville either really.  We have pictures I have to upload of use leaving Orange county, and arriving in DUVAL! We are going to Metro Diner for breakfast either tomorrow or Wednesday. Thats the restaurant from Diners Drive-In's & Dives. I cannot wait. I hear they have a fantastic breakfast.
I have today off, but I will have to work tomorrow. Will let you know how my first day of work on the road goes...sigh!
