You signed up for another enlistment? No, but thanks for asking. We are here for another 3 weeks or so. We are due to take the rental car back on Thursday... we decided to hang onto it for another week. This wet weather pattern looks like it will be around for a while, so it is nice to have some "dry" transportation when desired.
After breakfast at Beach Mountain Diner (our favorite in Wayne'sWorld) we stopped by Enterprise to extend our rental. And from there, a stop at Publix (grocery store) to stay stocked up.
Looking at hourly weather, I think we'll take the day off from the scoots, but we are hopeful for tomorrow. At the rental car place Joan asked one of the guys in there if this was "typical" weather for this time of year... "Yeah, it can be rainy, or sometimes it is hot and sunny." Kinda noncommittal. ;-)
I am enjoying this rental car - it is a Chevy TrailBlazer. It feels a bit more compact than the Equinox we have at home, and doesn't have the get-up-and-go of our turbo, but it is comfortable and has most of the safety amenities we're used to. In fact, it slammed on the brakes when a car in front of us stopped for no apparent reason - I was just starting to put on the brakes, when it took over and made an abrupt stop. Joan asked, "What was that about?"
"Talk to the car - I had it under control, but it decided I was too close, I guess."
The car has a bigger info screen than in ours, so the mapping software is even easier to follow. Very old school on the tailgate, though: you have to raise and lower it by hand... I am used to press-a-button ease.
And the rain? It rained most of the night. With our site under a big tree, it drips on us long after the rain ends. There was a sun break this morning before we headed out. May be a good day for a nap.
