10 am - we head to the mechanic to pick up my car from getting the alignment fixed again, only to find out that they haven't worked on anything because they only thought that I needed new tires and then quit looking at it. So they are going to look and try and fix it after a bunch of discussion between me and the manager.
10:30 am - We head to the airport to get my luggage, successfully.
1 pm - I call the mechanic, they are looking at the alignment, they should be done "soon".
3 pm - We head back to the mechanic, only to find out that the alignment is perfect, "so it has to be the tire", after more discussion they finally agree to go and drive the car
5:30 pm - After driving the car and looking at more things, they tell me that it's not the alignment or the tires, so it's something they can't fix. I get a refund for the original alignment.
6:20 pm - We finally are on the road to Greenville, NC in my mom's explorer.
6:30 pm - 9:59 am sunset, music, cokes, pit stops, sunrise, and some good converstation
Day 2 10 am - We arrive in Greenville!!!!
some funny stories:
After driving through the night, it's around 7:30 in the morning, which means what - that the rest of the world is now awake as well, including Starbucks, so we decide that we want to grab some java. We are looking at every exit to see if there is a Starbucks, because in Texas there are billboards and signs pointing to them everywhere, but we look and can't find one. But we think that maybe there would be one further "in" town. So we get off at the next city and start driving around looking for one. We get to a traffic light and a man in a pickup truck pulls up next to us, we roll our window down and get him to roll his down and ask him where the nearest Starbucks is, he tells us there isn't one. Later we find out that it doesn't seem that there are any Starbucks on I95 between Lumberton, SC and Greenville, NC. We found one as we were pulling into Greenville.
A shout out to some Allerton peeps, I haven't been able to use a hand dryer without thinking about you, but this morning at random gas station in Fayetteville, NC I found one of these -
