Best Western Seaway Inn Gulfport

... br>I wish we had a little more time to spend at some of these overnight resting places, but time is something you can't buy. However, Jerry did have time to get in a round of golf…an unexpected surprise for him. We also enjoyed seeing all of the water as we drove along the Gulf Coast. This is a novelty after living in the desert so many years.

We stayed ...

Rob Troke entry: Day 30, June 1 Wake up late. Ted's turn to empty sewage tank. He is not enthused - I, having emptied it for the first month, have no pity. Some manual labor will be good for the Investment Banker. He waits for instruction not wanting to learn through trial and error - would have been funny to see the sewage hose winging through the air like a wounded snake in his hands. We walk through the steps. Gloves on hands, Ted ...

... for 1.5 and 4 (almost 5) year olds. They loved the dogs and Marissa was Jules' new best friend. Marissa threw balls and sticks over and over again for Julesy and for those of you that know Jules well - she never tired of it. After a wonderful concert given to us by the girls, LLoyd gave us a great driving tour of Ocean Springs - the town they live in. He showed us where they had rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina and all the areas that were ...

A nice and early departure from Mississippi, heading towards the wide open spaces of Texas. passed the "Cross" along the way- what a sight. Tonight's stay in a small town just outside of Dallas. Long day, lot's of traffic towards the end. and 10 hours of travelling.

Today we left Gulfport, Florida for Las Vegas, and made the conscious decision to spend the first night in Gulfport, Mississippi, how apropos. Jose Luis is doing 100% of the driving, he is a master at commanding the U-haul. Tango and Cassis are taking up the majority of the front seat, stretched out and slumbering soundly with every bump of the truck's tires ...

... have a few floating casinos (they had to be off shore by law) but Katrina thought differently and all the casinos are now on the coast. Its actually quite a nice and relaxed area with plenty of white beaches. If they really tried hard they could beat Vegas as this is way more attractive. Funny enough, when we checked into the motel, the receptionist warned us if we went to New Orleans to be careful...dangerous she mentioned.

Since the toad in the shower incident a few days ago, we've been joking that "the boys" would like one for a pet (our weird sense of humour!). And so we found it highly amusing this morning when we awoke to find a tree frog sat on the side louvre window of the bus! And he didn't want to leave. It took us ages to get him to jump off, he just kept trying to get in. Those boys!

We spent the morning just taking it easy, waiting for our parts to arrive. At 1pm we had to check out and ...

... 11 herbs and spices, Good Seasons salad dressing has 7 herbs and spices) for a few days, so we didn't really eat any of the freeze-dried food. Plus, Chris is ALL about the breakfast menu at PJ's Coffee & Tea (the coffee shop with the wi-fi access). Adventure Food's English Peas & Corn Salad 9 out of 10 Need some veggies on the quick? This is the answer. Re-hydrates well, tastes great on a croissant, but a bit messy all around. This is my second time with this dish - the first time ...

... used to be a lot more." "What happened to them?" I asked. "I killed three of them." "You're kidding, right?" I asked, starting to shake. "No. They were climbing all over my new truck," he started to explain as I got up and walked out of the house, afraid I was going to throw up. His new truck?!?!?!?!?!?! I listen to his sob story for an hour about all the death and destruction he's witnessed and how devastated he is over losing everything and how he has comforted ...
