Well yeah, but first we had to do a few simple things, like... Get Ruti a drivers license, pick up a rental car, pack something, book some hotel rooms... Ok so we didn't quite think this trip through.
So first we went to the DMV to get a drivers license. Little did we know how hard that would be.
Once Ruti walks into the center the guy asks, "do you have your proof of insurance"
Ruti: "I didnt get insurance because I don't own a car"
Officer: "Well son, you need insurance to get a license"
Ruti: "But can I just get the fleet license that doesn't require insurance?"
Officer: "Yes. But you cant take the drivers test without a fleet (rental) car"
Ruti: "But to rent a fleet car I need a license!"
Officer: "Sounds like you got a problem, son."
Dejected, Ruti walked out of the DMV. A few hours later we found out it would cost $1000 for him to get insurance, JUST to get a license. Needless to say, he didn't get one. Plus, apparently he is still on the governments terrorist watch list, so getting a license was the least of his problems.
Fast forward- we start finally packing clothes, and thinking about what we need to bring. Next, we head to Raleigh to pick up our rental car, which is going to be our best friend for the next two weeks. So did we get a HUGe upgrade like last time???
Not exactly. "Here you go sir. A Ford Escort. And if you leave your seatbelt off your radio will cut off on you. And if you drive faster than 70, the car will stop accelerating. Enjoy!"
Well at least we have a car I guess. So after all of this, we were completely worn out. Looks like were not gonna hit the road until tomorrow. Sorry guys...
