Amerisuites Louisville

Headed off from Nasville this morning after piking out last night. We went to grab some dinner at an Applebee's Bar & Grill before heading to a bar with live music near the motel, After a steak and shrimp with mashed potatos and a couple of Mango flavoured cocktails, I was all done in and could barely waddle my way back to the motel. Only drinking water and eating fruit for the rest of the trip. I ...

... as she is quite talkative. Gabby did wonderful until we were about 64 miles from oiur destination. Then Gabby decided to take us the shortest way. We soon learned the "shortest" way meant very narrow roads, with no shoulders, hairpin curves and no way to get off the path. Pulling our 35foot 5th wheel with our long bed F-350 truck was a nail biting challenge but Mr. was driving and I must say he did quite well. We arrived and hour and half later ...

... Not sure how I'm going to fill the rest of my time. I guess I'll find something to do.<br><br>Fly out of the Azores on Thursday night (9/17), have an overnight in Lisbon, and get home Friday night.<br><br>I hope to post some updates and pics every night. Should be posted no later than 7 pm EST every night unless I'm out to the wee hours of the am.

A short walk from the hotel lead us to the Louisville Convention Center and my first Kentucky Starbucks. I made it a mocha since it doubled as my breakfast. I asked the barista if they carried city mugs and he replied with a slight southern tang, "Nope. Small market."<br><br>Right.<br><br>

Well, Louisville was supposed to be a brief stop over to prevent us from driving 10 consecutive hours, but let's be honest: Louisville is an awesome town. We got a super deal on Priceline and stayed at the four star Galt House Hotel and Suites in the downtown district. This is the fourth installment of the Galt House; the original was the residence of Dr. Galt in the early ...

With two 8 hour days of work remaining before our trip I find it increasingly hard to focus and stay on task...there are still a couple of loose ends to tie up before leaving and I find myself obsessing about them while working. I've made most of my miscellaneous purchases. But I still have to put together our travel binder and figure out how to combine my clothes and personal items into one small carry-on piece of ...

... we were driving through in WV were the Alleghany and the Shenandoah. The beauty is stunning. I am familiar with driving through the Smokey Mts around Chattanooga, TN but this was something altogether different. These mountain ranges that go up the east seaboard of the US are, I believe, the oldest mountain range in the world. Because they are so old they are not as tall as the Rockies so they don't have the bare rock and snow at the top ...

Oh the wonders of nature and nature-stream restoration projects I volunteer on. Bernheim offers an abundance of programs for schools and families that educate and allow you to help conserve some nature! <br><br>Also, this park has many, many hiking trails. Yay hiking! We all know how much I love that. :)<br>

... out to the creek to check things out. They thought the guy was a certifiable loon, as you would think of anyone who stumbles into the county sheriff's office at five in the morning, wearing a devil cloak and ranting about how a bunch of vengeful babies just dragged your friend into a pond. When the police dragged the bottom of the lake with a net, they found the body of the cultist, as well as dozens of pieces of ragged children's clothing, but that was it. They never found any of the ...
