Today we had breakfast at the Waffle House in Russellville AR (oh come on they're every where), it took us 5 days before we gave in...
After a wonderful breakfast, we headed out for a leisurely drive to Oklahoma City. We're listening to the Giants game on Sirius/XM and enjoying the views of the countryside when Bill realizes that he had a voice message, he didn't recognize the number. Ignored it, then realized it may be the hotel calling to tell us we left something behind. It was and we did. We had driving over 65 miles we were in the car about an hour, so we made a u turn and headed back... we had to, it was Bills medicine bag. So, in short we were driving about 7 hours today....I am beat,
but, arrived safely had another home cooked meal at the Crackerbarrel.
Tomorrow is Monday already, time flies by at 70-75 miles an hour.
(Bill adds) Yeah, what a dummy I can be sometimes! It’s a good thing we checked the voicemail when I did or else we’d have been in Ok.!
The Waffle House was great as Annrose noted, but the day went down hill from there except for the Giants beating Atlanta, and us meeting some Nice (very) folks working at the Ok. state welcome center. We also wound up at the wrong hotel (don’t ask) and now I have to get on the phone with customer service and sort that out plus a “double” charge for the first night in Virginia. We had wanted to meet up with a friend of my ex-roommate, but that doesn’t look like it’s happening today. Annrose and I are both exhausted, and we got lost getting here (Ok. City) and we are just wiped out. Short post today but I promise more tonight.
Drive time: 7 Hrs (because of going "back" to Get Meds at last hotel) Miles 286(not counting reverse!)
