Day 9 – Joy, Joy…A Full Day to Catch Up, Do Laundry, Repack and Rest

Day 9 – March 21, 2016 The title says it all. We needed a day just to catch up on writing, wash some clothes, play with and learn more about our new toys of the Go-Pro and iPad and simply relax in between. It was most enjoyable because I personally love reorganizing based on recent …

Day 8 – Seemingly Lost in The Grand Canyon

Day 8 – March 20, 2016 Our day started off with a filling scrumptious breakfast at Denny’s. Really it was. Brandon was our waiter and we found out later that he was just lending a hand since he was actually management. He was a lovely young man, kind, informative and let us take our time …

Day 7 – March 19, 2016 Woke up to a quiet morning in the hotel as most people were sleeping in after an evening of drinking and gambling. As we were having breakfast, the casino experienced a power outage. Strange because I have only spent the night at one other casino years ago in Winsconsin …

Day 4 – Home on the Range, Don’t Get Skunked in Texas

Day 4, 03/16/16  – Miles, and miles, and miles across Texas on US 271 and US 82 are the easiest most pleasant routes to travel. I can only wish that all roads would be this relaxing. However be mindful that the speed limits are set very high at 75 but most of the vehicles are going …

Day 3 – It’s Flooding in Louisiana

Day 3 – Woke up early, met Han in the breakfast room, had some coffee and tried to find something to eat but it was quite literally the worst breakfast layout that I have ever seen. Oatmeal was the best choice. Many cups of coffee later, we were packed and out the door. Weather alarm …

Day 2 – Between Alabama and the Mississippi

Day 2 – 03/14/16 Hotel Hint: if at all possible choose a room on the top floor, west side of the hotel with two beds. Two beds may not be the most romantic of ideas, you can always snuggle when you want, then climb in your own bed and try to get a great nights …
