We leave Arkansas behind and figure we’ll be able to get most of the way home. It’s an 18+ hour drive, -but we gain an hour! At about 11 am we get a call from our friend Dan who asks if we are coming to Florida for MegaCon, as we did last year. We had shelved the idea of attending because event organizers had not planned enough space for the Time Machine this year, and all of the artist spaces had sold out.
Dan insists that we reconsider, and in a moment of excitement (or delirium) we say 'Okay let’s try!' Oli drives thru the night and by dawn we are home. Puppies are very happy, and we start to work on the repack. We’ve made a list of what we might need, yet still no final word from anyone about what to expect when we get there. It’s necessary to sleep, so we take a nap and then throw caution to the wind and take to the highway. 95 south, Florida here we come. Crazy but Oli did it.
