We left the house this morning at 9:50 after loading our suitcase, clothes, Tinker's collapsible crate, his food & bowls and a couple of his toys in the car. We decided to stop at the Burger King in Sebastian for a quick breakfast before getting on I-95.
We left the Burger King at 10:20 and got on I-95 and drove north to Jacksonville. The traffic wasn't too bad in Jacksonville since it was Sunday morning and we stayed on I-95 through Jacksonville to I-10 west instead of taking the I-295 bypass.
We stopped at the Flying J in Midway (just west of Tallahassee) a little before 4:00 to get gas in the car ($3.599 a gallon) before continuing west on I-10 to US-231 north.
We drove on US-231 north to Dothan and then north up to Ozark. We arrived at Mike & Gayle's house at 5:40 (Central Time) - a trip of 489 miles from Sebastian.
After unpacking the car and eating dinner, we spent the rest of tonight visiting and catching up on each other's news. Gayle told us that she had found out Friday that she needed to have her gall bladder removed and that her surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. She felt bad about having to have the surgery done while we were visiting with them. We told her we understood and that since she and Mike are leaving next week to drive out to San Antonio that she definitely needed to have the surgery done before they left home.
Tomorrow we're driving down to Dothan and picking up the Budget Rental Truck and then heading over to our storage unit. Jimmy, a friend of ours, said he would help us load our things into the truck and we want to stop by and visit with our friends, W.T. and Glenda.
