So, SarahK called me last night.

Me: Hey! Where are you guys? (see, because they were starting their delayed road trip from Melbourne to Idaho Thursday morning)
Sarah: We’ve made it all the way to Melbourne, FL!!
Me: You haven’t left yet?!
Sarah: We might be exhausted by the time we get to Orlando (an hour away). Can we crash at your place?
Me: Of course. I’ll force feed you some left over turkey.
Sarah: We’re hoping to get as far as Tallahassee tonight.
Me: Okay, so I’ll see you in an hour?
Sarah: No.

A little later…

Sarah: Hey, can you go online and look up some directions for us?
Me: Sure.
Sarah: we missed our exit and don’t want to turn around. How do we get to the turnpike from here?
Me: Turn around and go back to the exit you missed.
Sarah: I think we can get there if we take 50.
Me: Yes, yes you can, but you’ll regret that decision. Traffic lights the whole way, it’s a very, very long drive before you reach the turnpike, and it takes you through the rape and murder district.
Sarah: Oh.

They never showed up here last night, so I have to assume they made it beyond Orlando.

UPDATED: they’re packing up from staying overnight in Ocala. That’s so not Tallahassee. I do not envy their road trip.
