Best Value Inn And Suites-Rolla

... fonctionne une bonne partie de l'apres-midi dans le camion.

Peu d'attraits en ce qui a trait au paysage. Nous ne faisons que passer dans une Amerique parfois profonde tres correcte polie et propre mais qui semble mefiante envers des strangers in a strange land parlant francais comme nous.

... of improvements for the sites...they were just vague gravel, not well defined or level, etc. The weather stayed nice while we were there (sunny and not too hot), and also on the day we left to drive further north. We had to leave on Friday 5/22 because, like most resorts, holidays are reserved for owners only, not outside members like us. So we drove to just north of Des Moines, Iowa for one ...

... station. We spent the next 4 hours there while the mechanic replaced the radiator and off we went... another 15 miles. It overheated again. We then had to get it towed back to Rolla, same mechanic. He met us and locked the Jeep up in their garage for the night and we walked a block to the Best Western. No pictures...

... for me is a bag of mixed emotions. Little did I know that when I left for the Army, I would stay in for this long. After all, I only enlisted for 3 years. On the day that I left for Missouri, I had no clue I would make a career of this. Well, here I am today, to tell you about my journey. I hope you'll come with me. I hope you enjoy it! Missouri Bound!

Yesterday, we drove the four+ hours from Indiana, through Illinois, and past St. Louis to our membership park here in Owensville, Missouri. It's a beautiful resort - four pools (the two outdoor pools and spas are closed for the winter, but there are two indoor pools and spas!) - there's a small cafe', a huge indoor sports arena that has mini-golf, a theater, and lots of activities. We swam ...

That's right- after tonight that little pin on that map is going to be moving. Mom woke me up this morning around 8:00 because it had started snowing last night I woke up went to the window and mumbled something and went back to bed till about 10:30 (still early for me) But when I woke up for real at 10:30 the weather outside didn't look bad at all- I have no fear that we ...

Only two nights left. Then I'm off to my mother land- Actually if everything goes to as planned these last two nights will the the last time I'll be "home" here. Soon after I get back from Japan I am moving to the house that I will be sharing with six other people for my Junior year- then I have an internship(crossing fingers) for Junior summer then Senior year then graduation- Holy cow. I'm ...

Packing Check, List making Check, Cleaning................... ummmm about that. This morning started out with a huge HIGH- I got to talk to two of my favorite persons on earth... Now this might seem to you like not a huge deal, but keep in mind it was Tam and Kara. My dear Tammy is studying in Spain and Kara Bara is still at TSU (Kirksville) but through this wonderful new (well new to me) technology of Skype ...

... over in Japan but in NOWAY can I live without my Proactive, Kiwi root-lifter, and my Bioslik shine on spray (keep in mind that a five month supply of this stuff takes up at least 1/3 of a duffel bag. Maybe I can stick it in with my shoes. So aside from this packing I am so excited. WOW, San Fransisco, Hawaii, JAPAN! I can't wait. I love spending time with my uncles and aunts in Cali- And I can't wait to meet my beautiful new niece Sora, and see how big ...

... a new ride for the day - and some of the youth convinced me to ride on the Extreme Swing...which if you know me, falling is one of my BIGGEST fears - so yeah about that! Brett, Katie and Julie rode it for the first time too. Steph - we LOVE your random trivia...there are some that we have had NO idea about. Keep it up! Thanks... Tomorrow we are heading south.
