Off to Florida


Well, we're supposed to be leaving for Jacksonville within the hour, but no ones even up yet(except for me) and I have to wonder what time we'll really be going. I get the sneaking suspicion that I could have gone to school today, which kinda ticks me off, but oh well. This whole trip is irritating me :angry::angry::angry: , but I guess I don't have a choice.

I already know what's going to happen:

My dad's gonna be in a rush to get there because he hates driving in Jacksonville rush hour traffic, so he'll go about 100 all the way down 95. He might try to speed on highway 58, the way we take from here to Emporia, but he won't do it very long because of all the state troopers who'll be looking out for speeders.

Then we'll get into Carolina and he'll threaten us all that if we want to stop to use the bathroom to speak up because he won't be stopping again until we get into Santee, Sc. That's where we'll stop for gas and try to beat each other to the bathrooms, only to discover that there's already a line and we all have to wait.

After that, we'll eat at Bojangles, then he'll tell us all again that he's not stopping until we get to Jacksonville, and he'll haul ass down 95...until we get to the last rest stop in SC, where he'll pull off because hehas to piss. From there, we'll probably stop one more time in Georgia and then we'll head straight into Jacksonville, where we'll get stuck on 295 in some ungodly traffic tangle and sit for an hour before we finally get to my aunts house. She'll insist that we stay with her, but we'll get a hotel anyway because we know and she knows that her house is too small for 13 people (which is how many people there are with our family, her family and my grandparents, who are there from California).

So, from there, we'll spend the week going to "neat places" around Jacksonville, which always involves sitting in traffic for seemingly hours on hand and wondering when the hell Saturday's gonna roll back around so we can carry our asses home. In the meanwhile, I won't be online and GA will probably be a more peaceful place for it :pickaxe: :pickaxe: :pickaxe:

I hate being stuck in traffic. In fact, I'd rather drive for 2 hours over a longer route, than 1 hour of driving and 30 minutes of stuck time. Even if you don't get to where you're going as quickly as you'd like, you feel like you are accomplishing something during the whole trip. Heck, you might even see a nice new park or something along the way.

 

My best wishes on your trip, and may it not be as bad as expected. :wacko:
