CAST:

Me (Tony) 38 year old Dad and Loves WDW
Becky 35 year old Mom, Likes to Shop at Disney
Seth 6 year old Son, Love WDW like his old man

As of 3:30pm on 12-6-02 about 15 hours before we are to leave for WDW we did not even have one pair of undies packed for our trip. Becky had to work the night before so she had to sleep, and Seth was at school.

Well, Becky finally gets up and we start to pack. My SUV had not been started for a couple of days and Becky was going to get Seth from school and then off to Wal-mart for some munchies. She comes back in the house and says "Tony, your car won't start". Oh well, this is great. So I call AAA they were here in about 30 min. So off to Wal-mart the go. I am thinking all is fine. Becky calls me from the cell phone and says. "I think your car has a demon in it" . She says the locks keep locking and unlocking which is turning on the dome light, which is causing the battery to drain. I am not real mechanical especially when it comes to cars so, I get on the phone and start to call different places to see if they know what is wrong. They tell me different things, and my BIL comes over and they start pulling fuses. Well, something worked because we went to the car on Saturday monring and it started. THANK YOU LORD!!

We are off to Super America to get some gas. after that we drive until we get to Hilton Head Island SC. Becky is already feeling the shopping bug so we stop at the Disney Outlet store in HH. She didn't find much so we dicide to stay in HH for the night.

First of all I would like to say HHI is a very pretty place, but you can't find anything in that town. No street lights, all the signs to the hotels and restaurants are hidden by shrubs, and plants.

After a little heated disscussion about where the stupid Quality Inn was. We searched for it for 15 min. I say forget it! If they wanted me to stay here they would have made better signs.

Becky reclines her seat and is not not talking. I head back to the highway, but all of a sudden I look over and see a Hilton Garden Inn. We look in the magazine and can get a room for $59. We pull in and Becky goes to check in all the time throwing me daggers with her eyes. We go to the room and it is really nice. Then I say. "I sure know how to pick them don't I" oops wrong thing to say. We order pizza, watch some tube and then off to bed. For my punishment I had to watch a movie on the Rape, Beat and Moleste channel (Lifetime).

Stay tunned for day 2 and the Long check in....
 
Oh boy Tony - not a real good start to the trip - but you are on the way - thanks for posting!
