Time Zone Roulette

billroperToday, we spent time in three states and three different time zones: Arizona (Mountain Standard Time), New Mexico (Mountain Daylight Time), and Texas (Central Daylight Time). This meant we lost two hours today, so despite leaving on time and making really good time, we pulled into our hotel in Amarillo at 8:30 PM local time. We were trying to figure out where to get some dinner on the way into town and decided to find some place after checking in. As I walked toward the door, I looked over my shoulder and called out to Gretchen, "There's a Chuy's!"
Now, we have greatly missed Chuy's after the only one close to us closed down due to COVID and never reopened. I checked in and ran back out to the car and managed to get us to Chuy's far enough ahead of closing that we were able to have a lovely dinner of stuff that requires a 45 minute or more trip to get to back in Chicagoland.
Tomorrow, we are off to the KC area. The drive tomorrow will be about as long as today's, but we won't lose two hours, which makes us very happy. :)
