Check – Double Check
It’s a long day’s drive from “Ft.Lauderdale, Florida” to “St.Louis, Missouri”, and every year when we got back home we would promise to make “Florida” a 2-day’er.
As we would be getting to the top of the state (FL.), we would check the road signs for “Motels with Pool and Restaurant”. Now, who can go swimming after eating a full meal? And, the “Restaurant” after driving all day, “sitting” and at the “Restaurant”, it’s another long sit and wait for the food, and more sitting to eat the food? It sure was a good thing that I was young and in good shape to take all the sitting!
Never thought about it at the time, but I would guess I was due a refund, for never getting to use the Pools? For this trip, I had just purchased a new “night gown and robe”. So, as I was really tired, oft to bed I went, so I could be 1st one up and get the “show on the road” before we ran into “business traffic”. Left my “robe” on the bed, took shower – dressed – packed my stuff – loading car. Every body loaded and on the road!
Mentally going over everything — could not remember packing my “new robe”? Next “Motel” stop — NO ROBE!
