Today was the exciting time of traveling to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. It was a long 5 hour trip with 1 gas stop, 1 attempted KFC stop, and two bathroom breaks. It actually took 5 hours and 18 minutes total.

We took a company truck which has a hard bench seat, no cruise control, and a shitty radio. So the drive wasn’t the best to begin with but when it started to rain… holy shit, that truck has the original windshield wipers. I couldn’t see shit when it started to rain. I was looking for an auto parts store when it stopped raining.

We stopped at a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Ruskin, Florida for a quick bite to eat… big mistake. It was like a freak show in there, people running around, lines backed up, people talking a language I didn’t even understand. The floors had that slimy slick feel and everything looked dirty. I went to the restroom and it was dirty as well. So my thought is if the lobby is filthy then the cooking area of the restaurant is probably a lot worse so we left. I ate a tamale from Race Track gas station. It was actually pretty good too! I went ahead and filled up with gas while I was there, across the street from KFC.

I had to stop and use the bathroom a couple more times. Once at a rest area and another at the Indian Reservation in the middle of Alligator Ally, on I-75.

We got here and ordered us a nice burger for dinner… tomorrow we have to return home. Oh boy do I look forward to that.
