After we were FORCED to stay in AZ over night. What a pain in the butt that was we had to be on our way by a certain time or management came and kicked us out. Or the maids did. But we didnt care. What could we do? U-Haul was LATE! You got it! Here we were all packed up but we couldnt go till they looked at our little problem with the tail light. All this took an extra hour. And so we didnt get out of the Motel 6 till about 2pm. And they want you out by "11am". Whatever! We checked out and were gone SO GLAD!
Our lunch that day was KFC. We loved it! What a tasty treat for lunch. Yummy. I love KFC. And of course Rainbow got to lick up the crumbs ;)
New Mexico was our quickest trip through a state so far. We went through with little stops. But I was sadly missing the WELCOME signs I wanted to collect them instead I got to see them as we *breezed* by them. Ha. It was a lot of Indian Stuff and much like AZ desert!
Our last issue with NM came at night. We had to stop and get food. Well we thought Arbys would be open. NO! They closed early but the drivethru open. We laughed at that one. We had a U-Haul not a regular car! Oh and NM NOTE TO SELF: No grass! There wasnt anywhere for Rainbow to go. She wouldnt go in the dirt that we did find so she ended up peeing in the U-Haul while we ate inside. That wasnt a fun thing to clean up mind you GROSS AND SMELLY!
So cause Arbys not open and drive-thru out we went onto Wendys. It was next door and easy to do. Inside we asked mom to please ask for some extra money from our aunt & uncle so we could get gas. Our little gas credit card wasnt doing us much good we kept finding little places to use it at. Therefore any "extra" money we had (which wasnt much!) was being eaten up by us getting gas at none-credit places. Mom got us another $200 we prayed it would be enough.
The rest of the night we drove through NM all the way to Texas. Now we arrived at Motel 6 in TX. The top half of Texas took us a total of 5hrs to cross. If you ever seen the way its shaped that LITTLE area is 5hrs worth of driving thank you very much!
At 5am we arrived at TX Motel 6. It was so cold thought we would freeze to death while checking in...
Now Day 5 is another thing all together.
THIS JOURNEY IS NEARLY DONE! Read my next entry on Day 5 of our trip to TN. :)
