Arriving in Hollywood,Fl

Dan & Laura's 010 Well, we won't be moving for awhile, we got to my son's place in Hollywood and park our RV in his door yard, the door yard is too small you think, well, while we were here, our car motor home and 3 other cars were parked in his driveway and he came home with a tractor-trailer, park in the driveway, went inside and got a sandwich then pulled out without having to move anything, huge driveway, oh, did I mention it's in the high 80s during the day??? nice, we'll try and enjoy it.

Covington, La To DeFuniak, Fl

De Funiak 001 A road trip of 269 miles took us out of snow and out of Louisiana through Mississippi then through Alabama to set up in DeFuniak , Fl., this is a very nice campground and we decided to stay for two days before heading towards Hollywood and Miami. Bye the way, no snow here.

A day in New Orleans

New Orleans 026 The day started with a ride across Lake Pochatrain on a 24 mile long bridge then another 6 miles or so on the Pochatrain causeway after  that it was on to the French Quarter for a walk around town and to a Kiosk that sells New Orleans tour tickets, we bought a ticket for each of us and spent the rest of the day on a tour bus checking out the home Fats Domino and the above ground graves, a little eerie I must say, the devastation Katrina caused and some of the rebuilding going on . The trip home was a bit scary, first of all Gee Gee, our Garmin, couldn't find a satellite and we didn't know whether to turn right or left, it was raining it was rush hour and it was dark out making driving  very difficult, eventually, she did get "connected" and got us home safely, till now, Gee Gee was short  for Goofy Garmin but now she's Glorious Garmin, good night.

The road from San Antonio to Beaumont

We took off from San Antonio at 9:00 in the morning, got through Houston with all of it's construction at 12:30, we had rain for most of the trip but the highway was well marked and even with the construction and rain, we made good time. Beaumont had allot of rain and the site where we set-up was went all around the cement pad but we're settled in for the night.
