Comfort Inn Gulf Shores Al

Pensacola... the show was good, the hotel was horrible.<br><br>For the record, Pensacola does not count as Florida. The panhandle is not Florida. I know Florida. Pensacola is Alabama light. <br><br>I couldn't even find a Publix nearby!<br><br>On to New Orleans!!!!! <br><br>:)<br>

De camino hacia New Orleans, paramos a visitar dos Parques Nacionales, el Big Lagoon, uno de los mejores parques en la costa de los USA, y el Tarkiln Bayou Park, caracterizado por las raras especies de plantas como algunas carnivoras.<br><br> On the way to New Orleans, we stopped to visit two national parks, Big Lagoon, one of the best parks on the coast of the USA, and Tarkiln Bayou Park, featuring the rare species of plants and some carnivores.<br>

... lights and all tons of cars. We all got off and proceeded east on 90. To my horror, the rains came in buckets and 4 minues later i was soaked alll the way thru. Waterproof Gear...my ass!<br><br>After two hours i'd made it 7 miles on SR 90. I got back to I-10 and was the only one on the road for miles and miles. I gave it more gas, which did two things: first, i froze my tail off. Secondly, I couldnt see anything due my faceshiled fogging up. It just got too dangerous ...

... West and Hemmingways house to see his 5 million cats. Oh, and one last thing: I always knew it would happen, just not this soon in life. I've met someone dumber than I. When i pulled up to the hotel I saw a dude on a BICYCLE. He was making a trip similar to mine only he started in St. Augustine FL and is bound for San Diego CA. on a bicycle.....he rode 180 miles today. Yep, it takes on kinds.<br><br>Keep the rubber side down-<br><br>RAH <br>

Leeroy experienced a road trip U.S.A style 6:30am straight to the coach with a stop at Pensacola beach nice white sands e.t.c. for lunch &amp; Avo...too bad there was a thunder storm warning so beach was closed for the afternoon so ended up a 8 hour straight drive.. the seas were angry that day my friends.

<br>5 pm<br><br>Well, old jenny davis wasn't working.  Too bad for us.  <br><br>Anyway, I'm driving with my dad from the Flora-bama bar to Pensacola where we're staying tonight and I'm trying to figure out why. Why are all these brand new condos here? We have to know that someday a storm like Catrina ...

I met my good friend Mark in Gulf Shores to mark the bookend of my trip. We had a great time with his family doing the normal Gulf Shores things like lots of fishing, talking and whatnot. I did get a few pictures here, but at this ...

... TWO THINGS, THOUGH. I MISSED SEEING THE LITTLE SAND PIPERS AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY WERE. THIS WAS VERY STRANGE. I, ALSO, MISSED PLAYING GIN RUMMY WITH HUBBY. I WILL CATCH BACK UP...YOU CAN BANK ON IT! THANK YOU FATHER FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR A WONDERFUL TIME AND ANOTHER TIME TO SINK MY TOES IN THE SAND AND WALK IN YOUR AWESOME OCEAN!!! <br>

... not make it to eat was Lambert's! Lord willing, we will get to eat there next time. We went back to Bear Point Marina and went on the Dolphin Cruise. This Dolphin Crusie was better than the last. The video clips are pretty good. Three days, for me, is just not a long enough! Anyway, on the way out the kids called us and told us they were going out to the bridge and take pictures of the birds and ...

... to the little place we had seen on the road to the camp-site at Gautier. "Austin's Po'Boys" is a simple little place but it looked clean and tidy and was clearly popular with the locals - always a good sign! We ordered a shrimp po'boy and a crabmeat one and had half of each. Po'Boys are basically sandwiches on crusty French bread filled with various things, particularly shellfish cooked in a crispy coating, a southern favourite. They were deeelicious! <br><br>We ...
