Success

I made it. The flight to Raleigh was uneventful except for the fact that the guy sitting next to me was basically a terrible human being. Not that I had to deal with him or anything but terrible none the less.

I caught the Avis shuttle as it was driving up and got my car almost immediately except for the part where you have to turn down $70 worth of stuff you don’t need.

It was a straight shot on I-40 all the way to Winston-Salem and I got the car dropped off just a little after 5:00. A nice kid from the dealership drove me over there and I met my sales person checked out the car, signed some paperwork, gave away a bunch of money and then learned how to work the car. There are a ton of little buttons and gadgets and crap but underneath all of that it’s just a nice car. It’s comfortable and drives good and all that jazz.

Also the dealership was hosting a preview of the new Mission Impossible movie and I got to go see that too. It was ok. About what I expected. A bit long in places and completely ridiculous but entertaining in the way that modern action movies are.

So far so good. Tomorrow I drive to Nashville to see aunt Kathleen and maybe cousin Janet and Jim and Parker if they’re available.
