I have never been a fan of doing road trips or just staying in a vehicle for a long period of time. I would start to lose my mind if you put me in a plane ride over six hrs. I'm talking about walls closing in, and getting all moody. Yeah.. not the best of me.
But there's another side of me that has the urge to try anything and everything at least once. So when the boys texted me about doing a road trip to ATL, of course I say yes. hah..
So that Friday after work, I got home and got packing. Before I even finished, the bros already at the house. Chilled a bit, and left. I was soo unprepared it wasn't funny. Only had the clothes that I had on me, a set of going out clothes along with some necessities, like toothbrush, hairgel and cologne. I knew I was forgetting some other stuff, but I just couldn't remember.
These fools had not had any food since that afternoon, so we had to stop by at Popeyes and let these nig-nogs grub a little.
All full!! time to hit the road!!!
NOT!!! Someone had a bright idea that it would make the trip a lot faster if we get something to drink on the way. I mean, we got 10 hrs or so of driving ahead of us, so we had to make it goes by faster somehow, right?!?
Mr. Budweiser definitely helped to ease off the pain of 10 hrs of driving even tho it only lasted a little over half an hr :)
The effect lasted for awhile and it helped me remember what I forget to bring. A pair of shorts, my blackberry charger and a realization that I never told any of my family member that I'm on my way to Atlanta (so I had to called my mom and tell her that I had been on the roads for over 2 hrs).
I know the boys for years now, but doing long trips like this helped us getting to know ea other a little closer. Such as who got the smallest bladder and made us stopped a little more than we supposed to. lol
Long story short, within 5 hrs of driving and a little hydroplaning which was close to wipe out Jbro's Corolla, we weren't even half way. So by 2am we had to look for a place to stay. First, I had to do a shout out to Steve Jobs, cause without 3 iPhones in the car, this wouldn't be easy. We searched for the nearest hotel in the middle of nowhere Carolina within 2 mins.
First, Sally called up Holiday Inn, cause that the first hotel comes to mind thanks to Snoop Dogg and Chingy. Made a left right off of the highway, we saw Holliday Inn and a nicer hotel right next door. Rang the door bell, and an old Indian lady came out with her pajamas and all pissed off cause we ruined her good dream at 3 o'clock in the morning. She walked to the counter incoherently and greet us while wiping off the saliva off of her chin. Naaassty!! lol
Well the story gets better, being an Indian that Sally is, he felt the need to show who's the Chief around here, so the battle of Indians begun with me by his side. The Lady told us it would be 60bux/nite to stay at her place and Sally told her Holliday Inn gave us 50 bux/nite (it was actually 70bux/nite when we called heheh...) So The Lady still incoherent quickly cut down her price to 55 bux/nite and thinking that it would be for 2 people and its not even going to be a full nite. We tried to hustle some more but I gave a signal to Sally that I need to crash ASAP!!
So we ended the battle right there, grabbed Jbro and Sbro from the car and went back to the lobby. I guess by this time The Lady she already got her coffee and her head level, she realized that we just shit on her and f'ed her up on the deal. She starting to freak out saying that we got it waaay too cheap for the agreed price. She started foaming about we had 4 people instead of 2 etc... But we just laughed it off all the way to the room cause we just showed her who is the Chief.
We got this guy waking up everyone in the morning.
He got a little shutter happy with my camera
then we all realized that he's a camera whore lol
Poor guy needs more sleep.
We learned the next day that shithole called Thomasville.
Literally there was nothing there other than a gas station and two hotels.
Got direction from a local lady to go to this place for breakfast. She told us it was the best place around the area. If she wasn't bullshitting, I can tell you that people in Thomasville don't know what good food is.... Shit was cheap tho!! 4bux avg for a plate.
Back on the road!
Like every relationship...
First we were friends...
Then we grew closer and become lovers :)
Sally throwing the WeesstSidee to the group of Indians in the white car. They ignored him.. f'in randi!!
Six hours later, we made it to ATL.
Just like we needed.
We checked in at 3pm and chilled for about an hour before we started wondering around downtown ATL. First impression, since it was my first time, I like it! The whole city is better than expected.... I'll get into this next time.
I dunno why, but I think this is a cool pic. Never seen a giant hot sauce before. lol
