on the road again...

We are on the road after a nice long break from the bear of traveling. I loathe any car ride longer than 2 hours and this can result in some interesting...let's say conversation. It's less controversial than argument. Tim on the other hand loves to drive and just wants an aura of happiness in the car. The best way to accomplish this would be for me, Sarah, to sleep the whole time. Sometimes that's easier said than done. Since Tim gets the privilege of driving the whole way he has to stay awake. We left after work yesterday and drove until about 11pm. For Tim to stay awake and keep us both alive he needs cold air and loud music. You can see how this might affect my beauty sleep. Past trips have resulted in...conversation. Tim has become wise in our 8 years of marriage and can predict the outcome of such conversations. Therefore on the past few road trips there has been a blanket and one of those airplane neck pillows waiting for me in the backseat. He is a smart man. Now we just need to invest in some Bose noise canceling headphones. Christmas perhaps?

So, we are on our way to Florida for Tim's sister's wedding. The drive has been pretty uneventful except for my brief madness last night of just being punchy, ornery and cynical. We stayed at a Hampton Inn overnight. It has become our hotel of choice and we signed up for their points program. The hotels are clean and the beds comfortable. Tim has obviously been spoiled because this hotel didn't have a flat screen tv, but *gasp* an old fashion tube. The travesty. When we checked out this morning I took the keys to the front desk and nobody was there. No biggie, maybe there was a bell to ring. But then I saw the lady that was supposed to be manning the front desk was catching flies and some zzz's in the office. My normal reaction would've been to go ahead and ring the bell with some extra oomph but I decided to let it go and let her sleep. My good deed for the day.

Our ride today began with a "conversation" about music. Driver gets to pick the music but I hardly ever drive. Bummer. Only another couple hours to go before we hit MickeyWorld. I'm personally ready for some lunch and my bladder is full from the marvelous cup o' joe from Sbux. I heart their white mochas.

until next time...
