My college junior daughter finished a relatively uneventful week in Fort Lauderdale with habitat for humanity - (we encourage her ... ). I say uneventful but, the usual college kid stuff occurred - someone got sun poisoned then drunk and violated curfew. As a group leader my daughter was stressed as there was a hospital visit.
It was about 10AM on Saturday and I was happy when I heard they were on their way back to school. The the first text came in
1PM "The bus broke down".
3PM "we are in the middle of the highway - they won't let us off the bus - it's hot. Three kids passed out"
5PM "Bus started and limped into gas station - died again"
Some time later... In hourly snippets...
Waiting on mechanic
Driver bailed
Will take several hour to fix - if it can be done
Some Kids booked flights home
1:55AM Sunday Morning we are on our way
Mid day Sunday: "my ankles are swollen... I am worried about blood clots" our pitiful suggestion: move around elevate you feet
9PM we are back....
7:23AM Today...."small improvement in my legs"
She wants to spend her senior fall semester in Australia? I'm thinking
1AM crocodile attached bus
2 AM have you heard of the funnel web spider??
