Day 1, Miami, FL to Macon, GA.

Rough start yesterday, but "you gotta have a little bit of a story" they say...

Up at 5:30am to finish packing the car and head to the DMV to get a duplicate of my license...(some police officer "accidentaly" kept it after bothering me a few weeks ago and of course i wait till the last second to get it done)
get to the DMV at 7:15, or 7:30, aproximately 40 people waiting already...ugh....
But i'm there, so i get in line, make sure i have all my paperwork...and wait. Few minutes later, an older gentleman, red faced, round, and sporting a half grin walks and and projects "Folks, our computer system is down STATE-WIDE, it may be be an hour, it may be all day"

CRAP!

peal out of the parking lot, go back home to get a few more things, and head south to pick up my friend KARA who needed a ride to orlando. We jump through a bunch of hoops to get her U-Haul back to a drop-off location, try to get the guy to not charge her for the 2 gallons of gas missing which they are claiming will cost her $30....and by the time we leave, it is now 11. WOW, so much for leaving early and having a new license, which i can't leave the state of florida without.

Boca, we pull off to get gas, and i say "its so nice that because i have diesel i don't have to go to the crowded side of the gas station, i can pull in to the truck side...hehehe.....
Put my card in, grab the nozle, pull, and the damned hose breaks in HALF!!!

WTF?!!?? caused a little spillage but seems there's a choke inside the machine preventing it from hosing fuel everywhere

Kissimee, FL....we decide to get off and try out a DMV that is in the area....there CAN'T be that many people here in KISSIMEE, surely we won't have to wait much.....
2, to 2 and half hour wait and I DON'T have that kind of time. We head over to a tax collector's office and go see inside, 1 hour 45 minute wait....slightly better......I NEED my drivers license before leaving, so screw it, this is the last try.

turns out it took us about 45 minutes to get my license VICTORY!!!!....

Another 30 minutes to get to downtown to drop off Kara, then 30 to get to Ryan's house, and then an hour to finally be on the highway out of Orlando. Ryan drove the rest of the way and we and an incredible sunset in North Florida.



oof!




Wasn't sure i'd make it out of Florida yesterday....now we're in MACON, GA...Heading to NASHVILLE immediately. looking forward to the drive.
