Our trip started out quite well, even though my back is still hurting. I have a canvas-type back brace which helps a lot. We checked into the hotel for the night, slept through the free breakfast, and got all packed up, ready to move on, when the car refused to start.
Stuck in a parking lot in Tehachapi isn’t good for two little toddlers, so we went back inside the hotel. After a few phone calls, we found out the repair shop is an hour away, so we checked back in, and Hubby went with the tow truck.
The repair can’t be completed until tomorrow, so our plans are now delayed a day. Hubby rented a car to come back to the hotel and take the kids and I out to dinner. I am so glad I always pack a lot of food when we travel. I have enough food to feed us sparingly for two days, if necessary.
The insurance will pay for the tow, repair, and rental, and we had enough points to get another free night at the hotel.
