First Rehearsal...if we can GET there!!!

Well...alrighty then! The adventure has begun. When I say 'adventure', I mean it - especially when Susan is driving. It was raining. There was traffic. Friday afternoon heading north on I-75, are you serious??? No problem. It's smooth sailing right across the state line.

As we approach Chattanooga, traffic comes to a dead stop. Not kidding! We are SO glad we gave ourselves an extra hour before rehearsal begins. 10, 15, 20 minutes crawls by...still not moving - much. Not good. Plan B - see if NavGirl can re-route us. SURE! Get off at the next exit and turn left. OK! I look out the car window and, of course, we're on the OVERPASS for 'the next exit'. Geeez. Hmmm....what do we see? Everyone else (or at least that's our story) getting off the highway via the ON ramp! Risk our lives for a quartet rehearsal??? You BETCHA!!

Takes us 45 minutes to get off the top of the hill to downtown's rehearsal spot - still haven't had dinner...NavGirl LIED and said there were two sandwich shops 400 & 500 ft ahead - what was SHE smokin'?? We happened upon a Quiznos (on the other side of the block, mind you) - ate the California sumpin' sumpin' while running back to the car...race to find Robin lazing around in the parking lot waiting for us! At least we knew we were in the right place! Thanks a million to Mona - Hostess with the Mostess!

Three completely fun-filled hours later and we're back in the car, shaking our heads the entire ride home. Can't think of a more fun way to spend a Friday night!!
