... for Salad and we happened to have a gift card for the Olive Garden so we stopped here in Tallahassee to fix my craving, soup, salad and bread sticks, Yummy! By the time we got out of there is was about 9:30 and It was miles before the next KOA. Nic remembered driving by a Wal*Mart and decided that was going to be our home for the night. Fine with me, but OMG was it HOTT!!!! I ...

... leaves at 10:30PM and arrives in Fairbanks at 1:37AM Sunday. That's 5:37AM eastern time. UGH. But we managed to get into the Princess Lodge a day early, so we can check in and sleep most of Sunday as we have no activities planned. Of course, this is assuming all goes well with flights and such. Keep your fingers crossed...and hopefully we'll have good news to report later!

... half vortex reminiscent of Hotel California) and run for Tallahassee. Mostly night driving and we avoid multiple deer cruising along the highway. We make it to an RV park outside of Tallahassee. I stay up till morning studying the wildlife - stray cats and raccoons.

We thought it would be beneficial for us (as well as educational for Ryan) to keep a journal of our trip to Alaska. Actually writing something down (the old fashion way - pen to paper) was met with some eye rolls, but when you bring technology into the mix, suddenly the idea didn't seem half bad! Hopefully our family and friends will enjoy following along on our travels. We hope to post pictures and adventures frequently...assuming there is phone service!

... leads to an opportunity to explore how attitudes change as history moves on. This is a beautiful building with excellent exhibits and we were sorry to rush through it .... the meter was ticking! When we went back to the car, time had expired, and the front tire was chalked. Oh well, we will leave the trip to the 22nd floor of the new government building for another trip to Tallahassee! They say the ...

We are still sorting and sifting in the coach and today we needed to go through papers collected at the rally. We are also still playing catch-up with correspondence now that we have Internet connectivity - what a relief! I have discovered that late starts may be a part of life on the road. Unlike travel by car, using hotels ...

We decided to try some of the state highways today and it was a really pleasant drive. We used hwy 27 to Perry and then took 98 west. Traffic on roads like this is often light and Don finds it more enjoyable. We also get a chance to see the landscape as we can drive a little slower. We had hoped to find a spot ...

... so wonderful and the people were very relaxed. We ended up getting an 11 day charter with the President (or whatever he is called) of Libya's son and his friends. They came on in St. Barths. They were supposed to be on for 11 days, but left 2 days earlier. It was the easiest charter! They only used the boat at night for a few hours for drinks and food! Pretty crazy for someone to never use the boat when they pay almost $500,000 per week!!! Some ...

... the server who tended to us on our first visit. She had the friendliest smile I've ever seen on a person. The woman could have talked me into ordering the entire menu if she wanted to by simply smiling after making the suggestion. She was there again that morning, but not as our server. With the end of brunch came the end of our time in New Orleans. I am glad to ...
