FINALLY

Well, the trip to get to the beginning of our adventure has had it's ups and downs. Our electricity has been off twice in the last week, the battery on Monte's car died as did the door knob on the door from the house to the garage.

Thursday nite was in a LaQuinta nestled in tall trees. We were only a block off IH, but could not see it. Friday nite was in Bossier City in a LaQuinta where we have stayed several times. On check in, they gave us keys to a room that had not been cleaned, so left for awhile and back to a room that did not receive internet. Went to lobby to use computer and they found the problem, so back to the room. Okay, by now, between the heat and traveling, ready for bed, but did eat at a favorite mexican food place - Posados.

Today we drove - along with thousands of other people - to outside New Orleans in Metairie. IH 10 was nuts. Saw a sign for a seafood buffet in Kenner, so drove there to eat instead of going to French Quarter and glad we did. The food was GREAT. Now the finishing touches to packing.

Tomorrow about noon we will begin the adventure - so stay tuned and see how much fun we can have doing nothing--------

THERE IS STILL TUESDAY

Well, our last day of our adventure did not turn out exacty like we wanted, but the company at the game was great. Jason, Jami, Jaden, Jaxon and The Starnes. The Rangers are now at 2-2 and the game Tuesday night in Florida will decide who advances. Would have been wonderful to have won yesterday as the energy in the stadium - well, you would have just have had to be there.

When we entered the game, we were given rowdy rags and Jaxon had to show me his.

Then, while we were still in the sun, Jaden showed me the way the rag should be used.

Had a good trip home, and boy did our bed feel good. Monte hit the floor running this morning as he had 2 big tax returns to finish by Friday.

If I have any readers out there, hope you enjoyed keeping up with us. Not much to report this trip as there was so much rain, but believe me, we had a good time. So, I guess this is it until we have another adventure. Will let you know.........

TEXAS

Well, we are back on Texas soil and glad to be so. Even tho we are back, you better check the blog again as our adventure is not quite over.

LAST NIGHT

These were our main singers for the cruise and they were good, but the guy in the white - he was great. We enjoyed all the shows.

Well, the bags are packed and two of them are already gone. We have to be out of our cabin by 8:00 in the morning, and yes, we have clothes for in the morning. Meet to get off at 8:20 and then transfer to airport where we sit until 5:05 ET.

PRINCESS CAYS

We have had a beautiful beautiful day. Sun was shining with a breeze. We were on the private island of Princess Cruise Lines. They had a buffet lunch that was great. Even picnic tables under a cover that made the breeze blow through.

This is what we did while on the island - laid in loungers and looked at the sky - or when our eyes weren't closed.

The trip has had it's ups and downs with the weather, but we have had a great time. We will be back - just will watch the weather a little better.

WE ARE SAFE

Just to let all that watch the news know that we are safe. Heard from someone in Snyder that St. Lucia had had a lot of flooding and one side of the island had been declared a disaster area. We had not heard that, but not surprised as this area had has more rain than usual.

DAY AT SEA & RANGERS

We have had a wonderful day at sea. The sun has been shining most of the day, but we had things to do inside. We spent more time today in our cabin than any other time, but C.J. said come on along, so we did. Game was great - well, since the Rangers won.
