Adventures in Travel

Well I got up this morning a little before 4:00 a.m. to drive to a 9:00 appointment in Cincinnati. Last night we picked up my rental car since I don't want to put my travel miles on my car.

About an hour into Ohio my lovely Hyundai Sonata lost all power on I-75. Fortunately it wasn't completely dead, it did sputter along at eight mph.

So I crawled on the shoulder for a couple of miles to get to a well lit exit. In the meantime I called Hertz Roadside Assistance and told the lady who answered of my issues. She asked me to let them know when I get to an exit so they could tell the tow truck driver where to pick me up. However I asked her to stay on the phone with me as it was really creepy and I couldn't think of anyone else to talk to at 5:30 a.m. So she did and I'm now sitting here at a Loves Truck Stop filling myself with unsweet Iced Tea at the Arby's.

At least I have Internet here, a puzzle book and if worse comes to worse my Nintendo DS is in my suitcase.
