We made our trip from PA to AR in one day. We left at 7 p.m. and arrived at 10:30 p.m. We spent a long time on the road and I wanted to list some of the things I hate about traveling.
1. Stinky funky bathrooms (every state needs QTs aka Quick Trips-the best convenient stores only located in OK & GA)
2. Truckers who think they own the road
3. Stopping every 45 min - 1 hour for bathroom breaks (pregnant wife)
4. Eating too much fast food for convenience sake
5. Paying $2.35 a gallon for gas
6. No radio because I broke the antenna off in a car wash (I recently purchased a SIRIUS satellite radio specifically for our trip but still need my F.M. antenna)
7. Two worst stretches of Highway seperating PA and AR -
Between Nashville and Jackson TN and West Memphis and Little Rock AR
8. Getting stuck in traffic because of a wreck miles ahead (waited for an hour and a half 30 miles south of Nashville)
Overall the trip wasn't too bad. I just wanted to vent a little. My wife and sons did awesome and we actually had a great time until we got stuck outside of Nashville. I thank God for safe travel. From now on we will make the trip in one day. I am glad to be on Christmas break chllin with the family.

there are qt's in el tejas. Driving through Arkansas is a whip.
Go to your happy place Aajon. Go to your happy place.
Oh, and send me your phone number, I think I lost your card. The time is quickly approaching for me to make some decisions.
Oh, and go get a wireless internet finder/detector. That'll help solve that internet problem. I got one for twenty-five bucks--I thought it a little steep, but *very* handy when travelling. I use mine all the time, it hangs from my rear-view mirror. No matter how fancy a one you get, it'll quickly pay for itself, especially considering the cost of a home internet connection.
Here's a price and link list of ones that are available:

Word to the QT Lovin', my friend. All other convenience stores are but filthy dispensers of overpriced petrol.
