Dag 8
El Paso
6 februari 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ 🌙 1 °C
We decided to head south from Albuquerque to see Rock City, on Joan's recommendation. (Or as near as we could tell, this would be the area she was trying to describe to us.) It was a waste of time, as a scenic side trip, as a campground, it would have been nice. But it was only about two hours out of our way while going to the Carlsbad Caverns. So El Paso is just a stop over on our way back up to New Mexico. Here are a couple of pictures of the City of Rocks.Meer informatie

Dag 10
Carlsbad
8 februari 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C
All we did today was drive up to Carlsbad and see the Carlsbad Caverns. It was about a three and a half hour walk through the cavern. Cost about $10/person but worth the price. We decided to buy a park pass for $80 and they took off the price of our Grand Canyon ticket. Now any national park is free. I think we'll get our money's worth out of the pass. If you go to the caverns, don't bring a coat. It's in the mid 50's inside but you're walking up and down so much that you are plenty warm.Meer informatie

Dag 11
San Antonio
9 februari 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C
Decided to stop in San Antonio to see the Alamo. Arrived about 5:00 PM and walked downtown to the Riverwalk area and had dinner. The Riverwalk area is a couple miles of trail along the San Antonio River through old San Antonio and lined with hotels and restaurants. It's a nice place to walk around after sitting in a vehicle all day. Tomorrow we'll walk down to the Alamo and check it out before heading east.Meer informatie

Dag 12
Galveston
10 februari 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Started the day visiting the Alamo. It was a lot smaller than I expected, only took about an hour and a half to walk through it and watch a video. Although it was interesting and the weather was nice. After walking through the Alamo, we decided to drive towards Galveston, Tx. We drove a longer route that took us along the coast more. After arriving about 5:00, we walked along the seawall for an hour and had dinner at a steak house. Which meant we had an hour walk back to the hotel.Meer informatie

Lake Charles
11 februari 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Made it over to Lake Charles, Louisiana last night. Kim finally got her casino fix just after crossing the state line yesterday. Texas was a dry state for her. Ended up hitting three casinos yesterday, one after crossing the state line and the other two here in Lake Charles. Louisiana must be like Nevada, casinos everywhere around here. So we are down $80 here in La. Had to stay up until 11 last night washing clothes. Its surprising how fast two weeks goes by and we're only in Louisiana. Need to look to see what there is to do down here Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.Meer informatie

Dag 14
New Orleans
12 februari 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Arrived around noon yesterday and checked into a hotel. Walked around the French Quarter heading towards the Mississippi River and looked at the architecture. Once bythe Mississippi River we bought tickets for a steam boat ride down the river, including dinner. It was a two hour narrated tour giving us the history of New Orleans. Nice boat ride. Of course there was a casino nearby, so Kim had to go in and win $100. (She's almost covered my losses by now.) Heading back to the hotel in the French Quarter we stopped by Pat O'Brien's to get a hurricane (for me anyway.) Walked down Bourbon St for awhile while I drank my hurricane. Then headed back to the hotel and sat by the pool for the night. It was warm here, about 75 when we arrived and still in the 60's that evening when we were by the pool.Meer informatie

Marianna
18 februari 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ 🌙 11 °C
Left New Orleans this morning heading towards Fort Myers, Florida. Drove through the southern part of Mississippi and Alabama then into Florida. After getting through Pensacola, we headed south towards the gulf of Mexico into Fort Walton Beach. Drove along the coast for about an hour then headed back up to I-10 and stopped in Marianna for the night.Meer informatie

Cape Coral
18 februari 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ 🌙 19 °C
Stopped to visit Jackie for four days at Cape Coral. Didn't get to do much here because we couldn't park our truck in the subdivision "No Trucks" is posted on the main gate and the neighbor told us we couldn't leave the truck there overnight. Ended up taking the truck to a hotel every night. Also got an oil change while we were sitting around Cape Coral. Headed to Miami one day to the horse track and casino. Lost $60 dollars there.Meer informatie

Dag 21
Marathon Key
19 februari 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Spent two nights at Glunz hotel at Key Colony Beach on Marathon Key. This is the most we've paid for a hotel since we started our trip, just over $300/night. We needed to stay here a couple of nights because Kim's passport had to be UPS'd to use overnight. (Hotels were over $350/night in Key West.) This is a nice place though. If you just wanted to get away from everything and relax, this would be a good place to go. Everyone else must think the same thing, we got the last room available when we checked in.

Key West was nice and warm yesterday. We finally made it down to the old part of town on this trip. Walked around town then over to the southern most point in the continental US. Walking back, we stopped to have lunch (mainly to give our feet a rest, we were getting blisters from our sandals.) Ended up spending about four hours walking around Key West before heading back to our hotel.Meer informatie

Cape Canaveral
19 februari 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Drove up to Cape Canaveral from Marathon Key today. Nothing exciting today, all driving up north. A couple of beers and a walk on the pier. Tomorrow we plan to go to Kennedy Space Center and then head west some towards Orlando.Meer informatie

Al Adams The space center is pretty cool. There was a shuttle positioned to blast off while I was there several years ago. Would have loved to see the take-off.
