>Hello from Fairbanks.
Oh...
>It's raining. And the rental places say they have no cars.
I hope you have gotten things better together. Goodness, that sounds like a rotten start. I have experienced mishaps in travel before...

>And there's no 7-11 within two miles of the hotel, and also it's dark and of course I don't know the area.
Basically, anywhere outside of Texas. The other states always feel so barren and the roads are different and usually a little sucker. No Buc-ees. Less convenience stores...

Of course, I'm just talking about driving for a few day or two to visit the one relative close relative who decided to leave Texas. Fairbanks, Alaska? That is a whole other ballpark.

If you have any horrific misadventures, I certainly will be curious of the details. Otherwise, hope you are having a great trip! Hopefully won't have to deal with too many bugs...
