It was the end of another long tour, and for drummer Daniel Adair it couldn't come fast enough. He loved his band members like family, but over a year and a half with them constantly on the road was almost more than he could take. It seemed that way with everyone else once they got back to the airport. He noticed Mike's and Ryan's wives waiting for them, so it was no surprise when they rushed through their good-byes. Chad, most likely anxious to get back into the studio, was already heading to his car, searching his duffel bag for his notebook and tossing a "Later" to Daniel over his shoulder. No doubt he'll be calling me in a couple of days to come into the studio and work... again. What he really needed was to get out for awhile. After a few moments of standing restlessly in the airport, he hatched a simple plan and put it into action: get in the car and drive to wherever the car wanted to go.
He stored his suitcase into the trunk, climbed in, and started his car. He revved the engine, a wicked smile coming across his face as he reveled in the sound. He spent a lot of time on the road on a bus, but all of that time was easily forgotten in that instant. He made his way to the end of the parking lot, and when he didn't know which way to go, he decided to let fate choose, and pulled his "lucky" coin out of his pocket. "Heads is left, tails is right," he told himself and flipped the coin. It landed on tails, and he flicked the signal on while returning the coin to his pocket. He was now officially on vacation and wouldn't bother to let himself think about work. He quickly swung by a liquor store for a "private party" later and got his favorite case of beer. Now he was all set.
