Yesterday didn’t quite go quite as planned (at least where the first half of it is concerned). I couldn’t get myself out of bed on a vacation day at the same time I normally get up for work. That was issue no. 1. Then, it took my laundry longer to finish than I anticipated. I finally left Northwest Arkansas around 1:15/1:30 yesterday afternoon (a little while after my goal of noon). The trip down was pretty boring. This is a good time for a road trip, though, if you like looking at the scenery. The colorful trees in the mountains on I-540 and I-40 were gorgeous. I have 255 songs loaded on my iPhone and went through them all. (I’m not one that lets every song play all the way through so I skipped ahead a lot.) I made it to my hotel and got checked in by 7. Considering I stopped twice, that was pretty good time. It took me exactly the same amount of time Google Maps said it would. (I did make 2 stops along the way which I don’t figure Google factors in.)
Oh yeah…I got gas for $2.05 before leaving Springdale and found gas for $2.09 in Durant at one of Oklahoma’s gas station slash casino slash Burger King places. I haven’t looked at the gas prices here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area yet but I would assume they are at least a little more than the two prices I paid yesterday.
I’m at the Dallas/Fort Worth airport right now waiting on my flight to Atlanta, GA. It leaves at 11:55 am. I’ll arrive in Atlanta on 3:15 pm EST.
