K and S's most excellent adventure

Hi All,

Well we have had quite an adventure up to now. We left Kingston on Friday afternoon. This let us get as far as Binghamton Friday night. We would have gone farther but it started to snow. We stayed at the Super 8 in Binghamton. There was an Perkin's near by for food but not much else. We woke up early the next morning and started out about 7:00A.m. The plan was to make Knoxville on Saturday night. All went well until I heard this sentence. If we have to stop for any more pee breaks we will never make Knoxville.

Bristol is nice.

This let us get as far as Bristol Saturday night. We stayed at the Days Inn in Bristol. This hotel again was just off the highway so there isn't much nearby. As we were sitting in the room watching the weather channel it told us that Texas had some Tornado warnings and a strong storm was moving through the state. Now I think you can see where this is going, but here it is. Ladies all I have to say is when there are tornado warnings out there and your husband says "Don't worry dear thats in the next state we won't run into it". He Lies!!!!! A light should go on. DO NOT BELIEVE HIM!!!!!! WORRY!!!!

Also when you see the "Storm Chaser" van go whizzing by that's not an indication that you should try to stay up with it because it is chasing a STORM!!!. Trust me.

Those 3 cop cars following it aren't trying to pull it over. There is something bad happening. By now it's raining so hard you can hardly see and you here these words from you husband. Don't worry dear I can still see the bug deflector on the hood of the truck we don't need to stop until the rain slows down. I just hope nobody stops in front of us.

Well we did arrive in Pensacola on Sunday night and as we are going over the 3 mile bridge there is a sign that tells you that you should check your gas. Well we had lots of gas but we had just drove through about 9 inches of water and the trucks engine decided that it didn't want to run properly. We coaxed it to the hotel and unload all of our gear.

Well you would think that when you drive your vehicle on vacation you wouldn't have to rent a car but here it is.

We drove the truck to the Ford dealer the next morning and had to rent a car because it was going to take about 4 hours to fix our truck. This let us run around town and get all the dive information set up to Tuesdays dive.

I do want to say that Gulf Breeze Ford in Pensacola has been great. They had great service and made us feel great about leaving the truck with them. I would not hesitate to recommend this dealer if you have trouble while in Pensacola. The truck seems to be working great now.
