more about vacation

I had been grumpy. The drive to Arkansas was long. We left home before 6pm on Friday and drove until we made it to Orlinda, Tennessee about 4 hours(282 miles) later.  Accident happened at the hotel next morning as I was pulling out, so we got a late start for Arkansas the second day.
I got hit in the driver's side door near the wheel. Car still drove well and we had reservations in both Arkansas and Alabama. We had duct tape, so I taped up the gap in the door to dampen the noise. We stopped at Burger King after deciding the sky around rest stops looked smokey.
Arkansas was a cabin in a fake town. Place is called Diamond's Old West. Nice place but it's in the middle of Arkansas and only worthwhile to stay if you are going to Crater Diamond State Park.
Arkansas is not T-Mobile country. I never got my phone call/vm from insurance until we left the state. I saw I had a VM when we stopped at Burger King near Monroe, LA.
Alabama was a hotel on the beach, but it was dark by time we reached it. Nice weather though! Kids loved it. Wife loved it. I loved the breakfast.
I didn't bother checking VM until Tuesday because all day Monday was dedicated to driving. Took a while to get ahold of insurance guy responsible for my claim. His computer was crap so had to let me go so he could schedule my car's damage appraisal. He called me back the next day that the appointment was for Friday at 2pm.
Beach was uneventful, but the hotel was getting a new roof. In addition to pounding a lot, roofers knocked out our satellite tv for most of the three night stay.
On Thursday, I was first up like most days of the vacation and got news (call) of my job interview before the family got up. While on the road, got a call from a different guy from insurance while we were stopped at BK near Huntsville. Shortly after we ate I got another call about my job interview wanting to verify my appointment. I was driving so J answered and held the phone for me.
Alabama was a long drive. Tennessee only sucked because Nashville was a mess of accidents. Kentucky was a blur until I got a root beer with bite.
I did all of the driving from point A to point B to point C and back to point A. J drove around point C when B needed to go to urgent care due to a weird rash.
