Sounds like an alt to me, glad you made it home safely. At least an alt is an easy fix, not necessarily cheap but easy.

I changed a few in parking lots. My daughter worked at a golf course while in college, she was the beer cart girl. Doesn't sound like a great job but she sure made a lot in tips. Anyway she borrowed my wife's Blazer and coasted into the lot of the gold course. Called me and told me what happened. I bought an alt, drove down and changed it. The battery had recovered enough and it started on it's own.

Another time we were 25 miles from Key West. We had borrowed my mom's car, she lives with sister in Miami area. The AC cut out, the speedo went back forth between 0 and 100. I coasted into a repair shop, talk about luck. The guy had parts coming up from Key West and he ordered an alt for us. Of course we paid his top dollar for it but he did lend us the tools. Wasn't that bad, there was a lounge next door right on the water. So we had a few drinks and enjoyed the AC inside while we waited for the alt to arrive.
