Spring Break starting in a retirement home and finishing in daytona!!

So for my Spring break me and a bunch of my friends decided to go to Florida. Luckily for us one of my roommate's parents have just recently bought a house down in St. Augustine because they plan on moving down there after they both retire, and they offered us their brand new home. So we had a free place to stay which was great news. We tried to keep the cost as low as possible so then we decided to drive down....5 girls in a jetta!!, but we thought it would be an experience and it definitely was. The trip started out with us leaving earlier than expected (like 3am early) to beat the storm which we thankfully did and it was smooth sailing...until we got to Hickory, NC. That's where things went down hill. We were driving along the highway and all of the sudden the EPC light goes on, which no one knows what an EPC light does and we are stranded on the highway with no clue where we are because we aren't paying attention to roadsigns. So we eventually find out our location and call a tow truck. Turns out the tow truck can't take all 5 girls so 3 need to call a taxi. I happen to be one of the girls to ride in the cab. Our car waits an hour before the taxi cab can find us and then we were off to the Volkswagen dealership. Now nothing against southerners, but the people in Hickory, NC don't seem to speak the same kind of English we do We eventually got lost for an hour and a half in a taxi cab with a driver that would only take shortcuts, through the boonies of NC. The other girls got stuck with a tow truck driver that upon arrival to the break down, he had to take "a leak" on the top of a hill in the middle of the highway. Thankfully though our car was fixed and we were only stuck in Hickory for a few hours , so we picked up and kept going. We eventually made it down to FL and were pleasantly surprised by our new home. It was brand new with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths in the Golf Hall of Fame complex. The first couple days were breezy and cold so we decided to walk in the historic district of St. Augustine and look at the shops. Well by the third day that got old and we wanted the beach. The 3rd day warmed up a little bit and we threw our swim suits on prepared to get some sun, and boy did we. I woke up the next morning with swollen/burnt lips and my roommate could barely see out of her eyes. After a few days you can only imagine how St. Augustine felt to us. It is an area where a lot of retires go to live so there isn't much of a night life and that's what we were looking for. So we decided to be random, pack up and get a hotel rooms for a couple nights in Daytona. That ended up being our best decision of the whole trip and luckily we had some good Spring Break fun. We didn't really run into too many other troubles other than the fact the weather wasn't that warm, we didn't get much color, and my one friend lost her cell phone.We tried to make the best out of the trip but after 6 days we actually were missing Buffalo. I'm glad I had the opportunity to go on Spring break with my friends and I definitely made some memories I'll never forget, but sometimes its good to be back in Buffalo. I missed the snow.
