Day 7 on the Road to Las Cruces NM
6 juni 2023, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌧 90 °F
Today was supposed to be a rather uneventful travel day as we drove for over 8 hours.

We were going to stop in El Paso, but decided to make a change a few days ago and spent the night in Las Cruces New Mexico to visit my first cousin Bob and his wife Judy, whom we haven't seen in close to 20 years!

We had an amazing time visiting with them, and we went to a very nostalgic restaurant in Mesilla called Peppers. We had a blast. And as a bonus, we got to see where Billy the Kid had his trialLäs mer

Dag 7
Day 6 San Antonio River Walk
5 juni 2023, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌩️ 79 °F
Got up early, ate breakfast at the hotel, and walked to the river walk. Started out with a boat tour of the river walk. After the boat tour, we started on foot, looked at a few shops, and then meandered over to the Tower of the America's. 750 ft. Tall. Looks like a taller version of our space needle at the fair.

We had a wonderful lunch while the restaurant revolved, giving you a view of the entire city. This city was mostly built in the 1800s. Most of them are really old.

After lunch we did some more shopping, and then walked back to the hotel for a break, (I took a nap) and then found an amazingly authentic Mexican restaurant called Paloma Blanca just outside of town. It was super large, very busy, but the service was amazing as was the food!Läs mer

Day 5 Driving to San Antonio
4 juni 2023, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌧 82 °F
Today was a driving day. Had breakfast at the hotel, packed and left. The traffic off the island was terrible and caused a long delay. Then another delay as we had to tell customs officers we were US citizens.

We arrived in San Antonio just before 5pm. Checked into the hotel and met some friends for dinner at a place called Bar B Cutie. Great food.

We went back to the hotel, unpacked the car, and relaxed, watching several episodes of The Good Doctor, Jill's favorite show.

We are hoping to pack alot into one day tomorrow.Läs mer

DAY 5 Saturday, Funday!
3 juni 2023, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
What an unbelievable day! Started out with breakfast at the Grapevine again. After a quick stop to purchase a couple of chairs, we jumped into the most amazing pool. The hot tubs were embedded in side the pool! We have never seen that before.

Then we went to the Gulf Beach and played with the waves for several hours.

We had dinner at the hotel and then jumped in the car to go dolphin watching.

This was the most amazing day! But best of all, I got to share it with Jill.Läs mer

2 juni 2023, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌬 82 °F
This morning we went to a place called the Grapevine. Never had a shrimp omlette before. It was good. Went shopping for a SPI hoddie. Haven't quite decided yet. Had an ice cream then went for a walk on a most beautiful beach. Then off to Louies Backyard for an all you can eat seafood and prime rib buffet. Too stuffed to move!Läs mer

Day 3 on the road to South Padre
1 juni 2023, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
Had a great night sleep. Breakfast at the hotel, then off again to our first real destination, South Padre Island. We are stopping for a late lunch at a totally gluten free restaurant called the Lookout in Corpus Christi. It is on the water.. More about this later. Some traffic unusually heavy for mid morning.

Our late lunch turns out to be paradise on several levels: 1. It is right on the water. We are sitting on a deck, wind lightly blowing watching the boats. 2. This restaurant is dedicated gluten free which is extremely hard to find. Jill can have anything on the menu! Very fun!

We made it to South Padre!

Checked I and went to see some comedy acts. (Not so great, but it was free and we had fun. Then saw a nice fireworks display, and topped it off with a Pina Colada while listening to Clay Underwood. Off to bed now because tomorrow is another funday!Läs mer

First stop Emporia, Ks
30 maj 2023, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌧 82 °F
There is nothing special about Emporia. It is just a stopping point on our way to South Padre Island. We were going to stop at a candy shop in Smithville, MO, but one of my past scoutmasters, who I was going to see, got sick, so we stopped by the hospital instead. Dinner at Joe's KC Barbeque.Läs mer

Las Vegas, Day 2
9 juni 2017, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F
We woke up and had breakfast at the hotel. It was fun to see the bustling people that we witnessed last night dwindle to hardly anyone around in the morning. Today, we were going exploring/walking the strip. It was well over 100 degrees. We began our walking tour with New York, New York, and wandered to the shops at Crystals where we couldn't even afford a box of Kleenex! Then saw the Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, Caesar's Palace, Flamingo, and Harrah's/ the LINQ, pausing to appreciate the very different décor and theme of each hotel and just a bit of gambling. Bill pupped out, and we ended up taking the monorail back to the hotel. We had an early dinner at the Outback and began walking towards the Luxor, which meant walking from the MGM, to New York, New York, then Excalibur to catch the tram to Mandalay Bay and transferred trams back to the Luxor.

This was our only "entertainment evening" and we had tickets to see Carrot Top the comedian.

He has gotten somewhat of a "rap" of being conceded and arrogant, but he was absolutely wonderful and we enjoyed ourselves very much. We took the tram back and walked the rest of the way to our hotel and called a night. Over 10 miles walked today!Läs mer

Las Vegas
9 juni 2017, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F
We arrived in Las Vegas around dinner time. It was amazing how many people were there! We checked into the hotel MGM Grand and had dinner at a wonderful restaurant in the hotel with an oriental theme. Jill was able to hold on to her water glass. :) After dinner, we took a warm stroll on Las Vegas Boulevard, toured M&M World, and continued our stroll a few blocks to Walgreens to stock up on water as it was very toasty. It was amazing how many people were either dressed up as Spider-Man, Marvel comics heroes, and there were females, barely wearing anything at all. They wanted us to take pictures so they could earn tips.Läs mer
