The fun started when we got to Tallahassee. It was almost midnight and the rental agency didn't have a van for us. Our reservation didn't matter there was no car. Catherine had two rentals at two different agencies. Budget gave us a tiny car. There was no way we could fit 7 of us and suitcases in a little car. Catherine has 2 huge suitcases along with my and Kyle's travel size ones and a couple back packs. We were trying to get a shuttle to the hotel and were going to spend the night in Tallahassee. There was no shuttle due to COVID. There were no cars for rent in Tallahassee. We were standing around trying to figure out what to do when the agent said she had a 7 passenger SUV. She charged us $360 for a $900 SUV. We took it as we left they turned out the lights. We got to the parking lot and the SUV had an almost flat tire. Hmm, I guess cars with 3 tires are less expensive.. We were standing in the parking lot laughing and thinking about Larry in Honduras who almost made us miss our cruise ship. Always and adventure. The boys really wanted to drive to the house and not stay in a hotel so we crammed all of us and the suit cases in the car. We stopped at the first gas station and put air in the tire. It had 10 pounds of pressure. We stopped again half way and put more air and made it to St George in about an hour and 40 minutes. Just as we got past Crawfordville it started to pour and there was an incredible lightening storm. Once we got to the house everyone was happy we drove. We got in about 1:30 a.m. |
