I WISH that it wasn't that busy, after flying in from Miami the peace and quiet for a nap would have been very appreciated.

Actually, some things do close. About 2 weeks after getting back from Miami, I drove (from Utah) with a cousin to his sisters wedding in California. On the way back, a Sunday, in the middle of the Nevada desert our tire blew out. We stopped in a few towns on the way, but they said we'd have better luck in Vegas. 6 hours later, we limped into Vegas and went to a gas station. The gas station recommended we go the the truckers station. The truckers recommended we go to Super Wal-mart, which had a tire center. We finally made it to Wal-mart, and the tire center was closed. It was about 1 am at this time. Fortunately, one of the people riding back with us had family in a little tiny town 1.5 hours away. We got there, went to bed and found a fix-it shop in town. The fix only took about 15 minutes. It took longer for them to yell across town to send the mechanic down! 6 hours later, we were home. All in all, it took us 29 hours. It's normally a 14 hour trip, providing you follow the speed limit.
