After two days of driving with a total of about 21 hours, we finally arrived on Tybee! Our trip down was pretty uneventful, minus the part where one of the tires on the Odyssey van went bad. Luckily, we were able to stop for lunch and get it fixed in a timely manner so that we were on the road again. Yesterday, we covered the majority of the distance. We left around 7 in the morning from Cedar Rapids and made it to just outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee around 9:30, where we stayed the night. We had another early start this morning. We were on the road a little after 7 and made it to Tybee after 3.
Once we were at our destination, everyone quickly vacated the vans to check out our beach house and claim bedrooms. I'm happy to report that Doctor Bob chose well. The house is three stories, with tons of bedrooms, bathrooms, and TVs to make everyone happy. After the bedrooms were divided, we had a big group meeting where everyone was split into smaller groups and put in charge of two meals for our stay. After that, Doctor Bob left to pick up Maddie from the airport.
We spent most of the time after our meeting just hanging out and waiting for Doctor Bob to get back. We watched some football and played a few card games. Maddie's flight was delayed so she and Doctor Bob didn't get back until it was too late to prepare the first meal, so we ordered pizza instead. Then it was off to the grocery store to pick up food for our meals. Once we got back to the beach house, Doctor Bob left and everyone has been hanging out and doing different things since. Apparently we have our first class session in the morning. I still have no idea what we're doing, but I'm sure my next few posts will be much more interesting!
Honestly, I'm just glad to be away from the -18 degrees with wind chill that Wisconsin has on Monday. Yikes. Apparently some of the US will be reaching Mars-like temperatures. Makes me extra glad I'm here on Tybee.
Stay classy,
Brittney
