I am going to divide my blog into several parts, beginning with the first leg of the journey. We met in the parking lot of First Baptist Church in Enterprise, AL on Monday morning, Sept. 27, 2010, around 7 a.m. to begin our journey north. There were 51 passengers on the Southern Coach bus.
The bus arrived from Dothan around 7:30 a.m. and we started boarding soon after. Jim and I each had a large suitcase and some carry-on bags and pillows (which we never used). The seats on the bus were very narrow and not much leg room. We were seated in the upper 1/3 of the bus, surrounded with some people we know. There were several from Elba making the trip.
We pulled out of the parking lot at 8:10 a.m. and headed north to Atlanta. We stopped near Atlanta and bought lunch. Then headed on to Archdale, NC (near Greensboro). We stopped in Charlotte around 7 pm and ate dinner at a Shoney's restaurant. Arrived in Archdale around 9 p.m. My sisters Alice and Susan met us at the Fairfield Inn and we visited for awhile.
One of our passengers, Ann Davis, stumbled as she was walking to the hotel lobby, and fell and cut her head over her eye. Had to call 911 and get her an ambulance to a nearby hospital to get stitches. She work up the next day with a black eye, and ready to go on the trip. Her travelling partner was her sister Betty Hudson.
We had a good hot breakfast at the hotel and put our suitcases back on the bus to start the second day of our trip.
Continuing with Day 2 tomorrow.
