Courtyard By Marriott Gulf Shores

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>

not good news to report today. I left pensacola FL this morning bound for Miami. Fate had another plan in store...5 or six miles east on I-10 traffic stopped cold. Uuugh...i hate that. Stop and go traffic and no lane splitting makes me cranky. Each time i have to stop theres a high chance of me losing my balance and falling over. The next thing that happened was the state troopers directed everyone off at SR 90, which parallels I-10 but goes thru the little towns and has ...

... rounding the top of hill after hill and there was NOTHING. This is HILL COUNTRY, people! Finally, I made it to Ozona TX and was able to fill up...now i know i can go more than 260 miles on one tank if I have to.<br><br>It was a long day of interstate riding; i got on at Fort Stockton TX and went all the way past the Astrodome. Its HUGE. When i got to my aunt and uncles, she insisted that I park my bike in their barn instead of the ...

<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 ...

(50)JULY 27, 2009<br>We decided to go back to the beach early. Invited Son and family to go. They took us up on<br>it. They will be going to school and our son will be in training as he is a rookie firefighter. So, it will be lots of learning and commitment for them when they get back. We could not get a bigger condo at this late a date. So, we decided to make do and make memories. The weather ...

... we had been one vehicle in front, we wouldn't have had to sit there and wait while 40-50 school buses were given priority out of the junction. And we are not kidding about the number. If we had realised how many there were going to be we would have started counting at the beginning. All we do know, is that we sat there for about 7 minutes. In the end we were laughing hysterically, we thought they were going round the block and coming out again! <br><br>As we ...
