Answer: NOT Southwest Airlines!
Answer: NOT Southwest Airlines!
We originally chose how we would do this trip based on things happening at the time we planned it. In the summer, airlines were cancelling flights and losing luggage with reckless abandon. They were about as reliable as a tweaker with a stolen credit card. We decided to drive, and try to control things as best we could. Reading the news of the last few days, all I can say is we made one hell of a call. We joked about "Flying Bill's Truck" airlines. Turns out it wasn't a joke.
Our intent was to take the path less traveled.....to leave the well marked trail and venture out. Today was one of the rewards for this choice. We saw things that were different, unusual, unique. We saw things that will never be seen from the interstate. We found things we didn't even know existed before today. We discovered treasure.
It is, however, late. I'm tired and cannot do justice to our discoveries today. But I want to share them and will do so tomorrow. It is a trade that gets us a day closer to home as our trip winds down. I'll fill you in tomorrow.
Happy New Year everyone!
