Trip down was eventful to say the least.
We were about 4 hours later than we planned to leave. We debated and decided to drive straight through the night and not stop in hotel.
After about an hour of driving and just before crossing into Alabama I'm settling in for the long drive. All of a sudden I hear DW in passenger seat say, "I know what we forgot."
I'm thinking toothbrush, shampoo...maybe a watch.
Nope
We left garment bag. In other words, no shirts or dress pants.
Turned around and drove 1 1/2 hours back home. Got clothes and got BACK on the road.
I drove as far as Tallahassee while DW slept. By that time I'd been up 20 hours and wanted sleep, so she offered to drive. When I closed my eyes we were 20 miles west of Tallahassee. I had told DW watch for I75, but more specifically Gainesville.
I awoke 2 1/2 hours later. There was a big green sign coming up. In my awakening fog I slowly made out "Jacksonville".
Jacksonville!?
What the...she had drove right through I75 exit and kept going East. We were 15 miles west of Jacksonville and closing fast.
Oh, and it's 7am traffic. I quickly got her in direction of I95 then down to I4. Both are a disaster with traffic and construction. I'll never talk badly of I75 again.
I wish I could've seen my face when I realized where we were.
