And the Adventures BEGIN!!

Well as I mentioned before, we wanted to buy a car that had the capacity to haul a trailer of our stuff so we wouldn't have to drive separately. Little did we know that on Sunday we would only get to Wichita, Kansas, or about 20 minutes before Wichita, before we had trouble! When Chris looked in the side mirror he noticed a bunch of smoke coming from the car so we pulled over to take a look and found that there was stuff leaking from the transmission. Great. So since we didn't want to drive it anymore we had to call a tow truck and a taxi (since we couldn't all fit in the tow truck) and get towed to our hotel (which I had just booked through Hotwire about 20 minutes before!). Well it took about 3 1/2 hours or so for the tow truck to get there and get everything hooked up and situated and for the taxi to get there, which meant by the time we got to our hotel and got dinner it was around 10 pm!! Luckily we weren't very far from a big city, with a Ford dealership close by.
