Scratch that last post....The Uber driver refused to take them to Alabama....
Back to the original plan. Waiting on someone from here to drive there.
They should just spend the night in a hotel. I had weather problems flying through Atlanta a few years ago and I actually ended up making a quick reservation and then walking to the nearest hotel (this was pre-Uber) which wasnt very far away. I actually had a lovely evening and went to a nearby bar that had some great people playing and singing and also a very convivial crowd of stranded guests.
So when life gives you a lemon ....well, you know the rest of it. But dont make your family drive for hours through the night to pick you up unless its absolutely, positively necessary (like the world is coming to an end and Atlanta is where its starting).
You restored my faith in human behavior. I wondered what Uber driver would take someone from Atlanta to B’ham.
