I don't know if I should laugh or cry right now! Last time I posted I told you we were in myrtle beach on vacation. It got better after my last post and we actually had a lot of fun. So much so that we stayed an extra day.
So this morning at 6 we set out for home. We were making great time, lots of laughs etc. About 7 hours into our trip my AC stopped working. We opened the windows and instantly smelled burning. My husband was able to maneuver through traffic and pull off on the shoulder of 95. He instantly discovered that the AC clutch broke and was on fire. Uggggg! That part controls the cooling system so the car was overheating as well. We were actually slowly able to get it off the highway and made it to the holiday inn
in Alexandria VA. Car was towed to the nearest honda dealer but they can't look at it till Monday. We're staying the night at the HI and renting a car tomorrow morning at the airport and driving home. husband has to work Monday so we have to get back tomorrow no matter what. We're coming back down Friday to get the car from the dealer and drive it home. The worst part is that husband is a master mechanic but has no tools or parts to fix this himself so Honda will make a nice $1500 from us. What a nightmare!!!!
It's been hard to post bc hotel wifi sucks and I'm almost over on my data plan so I'm sorry if anyone replies and I don't respond right away. Please say lots of prayers for us and wish us luck getting home tomorrow!!!!
