    I just arrived after a 14hr road trip which in hindsight wasn't too bad...I got lots of sleep and when I wasn't sleeping there were some entertaining characters to enjoy...At least I have all day to rest, study some and pick up the things I thought I packed but didn't...Hotel is nice and was within walking distance of where bus dropped me off...I'll pop in videos of what I can(left camera at home, argh!)...Stay tuned for my take on what seems like a great company!...

    Not sure where the hotel is in relation to the terminal, but there's a good BBQ joint nearby. Bennetts, great food, great service!

    VERY COOL! Have fun, pay attention and we'll see you out here soon. I walked to the terminal from the hotel. I'm guessing it's about 2 miles or so? Not too bad for a nice morning walk.

    DON'T leave there without trying Bennetts for a meal. GREAT place to eat, good prices and HUGE servings and the old southern atmousphere and hospitality is great!
     
    walstib Thanks this.

    It took all of 10-15 minutes to get to terminal...Saw 4 or 5 trucks go in and out then I turned around and came back...Walking there each morning seems like a nice way to start the day!...I wasn't crazy about the uphill(s) on the way back but it's not far enough to cause any cardiac issues! :biggrin_25523:

    I'm suppose to have a roommate so I'm going to wait for him to show up and see if he wants to go too...
