Ugh what a week!
 
Left the 21st at 5am to get to Orlando airport early, so I could find a parking spot in garage, got there... Garage was basically empty, check in at US Air was empty, TSA check point empty, sat at gate waiting for over an hour. I could have stayed in bed longer. Plane was half full, get to DC cold and raining, the warm and raining. Went to Charles Town WVA to casino...LOST $.
The DC area is such a Hell hole now, way to much traffic.
:violin: :jump:
Family biatching at each other, tried to come back early, all seats booked. Fianally left this morning (27th) 5am had the taix driver from hell, I was white knukled in back seat. Got a stand by flight out two hours early, get to OIA parking garage, H3 has a dead battery. Pick dog up from Kennel, she has a ear infection now. Have to be at work at 4pm and I am late because I fell asleep on the couch. 1/2 mile from the park and some drunk driver headon's the car next to me, OMG what a sound!! and the drunk Biatch leaves the scene... She was picked up making a 911 call saying her truck was stolen. She was in the parking lot across the street. Anyhow she has weed and beer and a warrant for her arrest.
God it is nice to be home! and singing the blues and playing my Violen :violin:

I need a vacation!

Sounds like the Christmas "Vacation" from Hell! It would definately fall under the "trip" category... Hope your New Years is better!

Overtime for the pinch?

Has your battery died before? I have seen others mention this problem. How long did it sit without running? :popcorn:

As an afterthought, DC traffic sux big time. Trust me - I had to live there for six weeks:crying:

No, this was the first time with the battery. Yeah I have seen those threads also, I sure hope I don't start having those problems

Was anything left on? Was it cold where your ride was parked? I hate to be a pest but I entertain business travel on occassion and I do not wish to find myself in the unfortunate situation you were in. Thanks! :popcorn:

Nope, it was warm. It was parked at the Orlando International Airport. All lights were off, I am having it check Monday to see if any thing has a current going that is strong enough to drain the battery.
I have a place in the mountains of NC and have been there when it was 8 outside and didn't have a problem.

I left mine @ the airport for about 2 weeks, w/my gps accidently plugged in. Battery worked fine, no issues. Seems to be a hit & miss - if it happens again, go and complain and get a new battery from the dealer.

I have this funky christmas wreath that lights up on the front of my H3 (no comments please)- accidentally left it plugged in all night at least 3 different times and my H3 started just fine each time. Got lucky I guess
