Day 28 - The "Things Don't Always Work Out As Planned Day"

Day 28
Tupelo, MS - Madison, GA
Officially back through all the time zones.

You can probably determine how your day is about to unfold based on your first important transaction.  Today I drove through the McDonald's drive through for a breakfast biscuit and some Diet Coke, drove to the first window, paid the cashier and then drove off without actually picking up my breakfast.  About 5 minutes later I felt kind of thirsty, looked down and didn't have a drink.  They got quite a kick out of my second time through the drive through.  I will refrain from including all the details of the rest of the day but let's just say I'm thinking tomorrow will be a lot better!

Travel Tip #1:  If you are trying to visit a tourist attraction that has moved to a new location, don't drive around the middle of Atlanta looking for the old one.
Travel Tip #2:  Remember, the time doesn't actually change until you drive across the time zone line.
Travel Tip #3:  If your hotel advertises rooms by the week and is right beside a big rig truck wash, don't expect clean towels...or really clean anything else.
Travel Tip #4:  Always have hand sanitizer and wet ones at your disposal...see above.
Travel Tip #5:  Don't be fooled by air conditioning.  If you are not in the Pacific Northwest it will be over 100 degrees when you step out of your car.
