The many joys of traveling

So, I mentioned the other day that I'm going to DrupalCamp Austin this weekend, and that's certainly still true…however, it's been more of an adventure than I planned.

Jamie and I took off this afternoon around 5:00, excited for the weekend down south. The drive went well at first, but I think we might ought to have turned back when we saw the road on fire. Or when later on, our car just decided that accelerating wasn't hip anymore, and that it'd be better if we just sat by the side of the highway in the dark for awhile. (Despite several calls to the local highway patrol, nobody came to help us until we called the towing company instead.) Or when we ended up at the towing company office, and later at the neighborhood Sonic, with a pile of luggage, two small dogs, and no more car to speak of.

Fortunately, Jamie's brother and sister-in-law were kind enough to come pick us up and take us the rest of the way…so unless today takes another strange turn, I'll still be at DrupalCamp come morning.

Here's hoping :)
