2 RV's to Seffner FL (delivered)

... spending the night at College Park GA

Breakfast - some eggs and gravy (the sausage looked too greesy)

Load board was still down at 8 AM at the start of their work day. It was working before 9 AM, no comments as to the why.

We left about 10 AM. The people ahead of me checking out, English was not their first language. When they tried to check out, the desk clerk tried to tell them that they had reservations (paid?) for the rest of the week. Desk clerk even printed out the reservation ... turned out the people had told the clerk, or she heard wrong, the wrong room number. All was OK.

1st stop was for fuel a few blocks from the rental car place at a Speedway in Brandon.

2nd stop was the rental car place in the mall. This time we knew where it was and we both went in the correct door. When BB asks if we can just keep this car, they say 'sure, we don't have any other cars to give you.' ??? All of their parked spots are full of cars. But this works better for us. In and out in 15 minutes or so.

3rd stop was in Bushnell for food at the Arby's in Loves. They are out of the onions for their monthly special :( I got it anyways. This place puts on lots of Garlic spread, Most of it on the wrapper.

4th stop was the Lake City Rest area - I call dispatch on a trip from AL to MN, they tell me it is gone but it stays on the load board for most of the day. We are kind of not sure what we want to do. There is a storm coming in at home and we should be able to beat the worst of it if we get home Wednesday night. But that means passing on all work.

If we had called on the AL to MN trip right away, we may have gotten it. But that would have likely forced us to shut down somewhere and come home after the storm. Not sure what the extra day of sitting would have cost us, and if the trip then would even be worth it. Never did find out what it was.

5th stop was the rest area in Ashburn GA it had been two hours.

6th stop ... it was another hour from the rest area to here so we had to stop the prior time. But we could have stopped in Ashburn and gotten fuel, and paid more. Here we stop at Buc-ee's. Gas is $2.99 (as it is at the next Loves if we had looked) As long as we were stopped we also got food, shelf food. A chicken salad sandwich for me and a chicken burrito for BB.

When we got to ATL, it was fun. I had told BB where we used to stay, the location, not the address or name. And she found something close but I never looked to see where we were going, I am trying to listen to the GPS and follow my nose to where we used to go. I miss two turns in a row.

We end up at the airport. From here we follow the GPS. When we get to the hotel, nothing looks right. We are on the wrong side of the freeway. Which is what I thought when BB was talking.

7th and final stop is the Quality Inn in College Park.

After we check in, I look at the map. I can't find our old hotel. I even find a write-up from when we used to stay there. But I can't find the hotel on the map. It has been eight years since that write-up and things may have changed ???

There is one open spot in the trees that we think may have been the hotel. I used to fuel CNG buses a mile or so from there and remember the street names. But the only hotels there now are $200-300-$400 a night hotels and we didn't pay that.
