"Thank's John. These will come in handy." Anne says and stuffs them in her ears.

Fighting off sleep as best he could through the first hour of the trip, the music begins to grow softer in his ears, and the chatting of his new partners also slowly fades into the background.
Just meaning to close his eyes for a minute to work the grainy feeling out of them, Caleb leans his head back slightly to relax and then was out like a light.
OOC: While I would love to have Caleb join in on the background chat, I sorta painted myself into a corner by saying he drove all night. As such, it only seems fair that I let him get some rest in on the trip..

Febuary 28th, 2004. 7:42 PM. Oak Hill Motel, Bavinton Keys, Florida.
Other than a few mild disputes over music, the drive down to Bavinton Keys goes well. Seven hours of driving later, and Daunte pulls the van into the parking lot of the Oak Hill Motel. In among the folders Davies gave you are reservation details for your rooms, along with strict instructions not to run up any room service or mini-bar bills.
You step out of the van, glad to be free of its cramped interior. It's a pleasant 60 F outside, surprisingly warm for both the time of year and time of day.
(OoC: I'm skipping over the road trip itself, if that's OK with everyone. flyingricepaddy: Davies gave Mick the OK to bring his dog along, although the motel doesn't normally allow pets...)

)Daunte climbed out of the van after parking as far from the motel's entrance as possible, rotating his sore neck to stretch it out. The drive had been uneventful, Daunte would say even dry. However, it had given him a chance to get to know his new partners better, and them to know him. They found that he was quick to laugh and quick to joke, even if he had a habit of babbling on and had questionable taste in music.
"Glad to get out and stretch my legs," he told the others, as he went to fetch his stuff from the back of the van. "Sweet weather, too. Nice enough for a late night jog." He examined the motel before them with a critical eye. "I've seen worse," he says with a shrug, then looked to the others again. "Shall we?" Then he heads for the reception, bags slung over his shoulder.

"Hep." John stretches out- places that shouldn't be capable of falling asleep have fallen asleep- and grabs his bag plus any others he can carry before following Daunte. "So what's the room setup like?" he asks.

"Forget the rooms; showers are top priority. And yes, that's for everyone," Lisa adds with a baleful glare, as she grabs her immense duffel.
At the mention of a late jog, Caleb perks up slightly.
"If you need a running partner, let me know. I'm not much on speed running, but I have been training to compete in my first tri this year. If Hoffman leaves my calender clear long enough..."
Stretching his legs out, Caleb looks around the hotel and reaches into the back of the van and grabs his bags.
"Do we double up, or did Hoffman spring for us to have solo rooms?"

"You serious?" Daunte asks with a slow, surprised smile. "I wanted to try out for one last year but it clashed with school and track. Looks like you're alright, Caleb."

Daunte checked the documents. "We're doubling up. Looks like we're roomies, John." There's a bit of mischief in his brown eyes as he says this.

Mick climbs out of the back of the van, stretching mightily.
"I guess we'll need the room keys from the front desk, huh? I'll see if I can get 'em." He glances back and sternly orders his dog to stay in the car: "Stay, Pes. Stay."
Pes, for his part, lazily lifts one eyelid to flash a brief, incredulous look at Mick, and promptly returns to his snoozing.

John misses the mischief entirely, although he does frown for a moment, pausing to sniff the air. Hmm he thinks. Must have been nothing. He grabs his stuff, gets the keys, and heads towards the room.
"Once we're settled in, let's meet in the lobby. We can get some dinner and talk plans," he says.
And meanwhile, the slight wiff of wacky hijinks he had smelt floats away on the breeze...
