Hampton Inn Tulsa

Our first night of camping. We visited Will Roger's birthplace that was only a couple miles away. We walked on the boat docks down in the marina. There were a couple hundred boats there, pontoon party boats and sail boats. We saw some really beautiful sailboats.

We're already halfway with an ETA Casa Grande for Sunday. Gray day, fairly easy driving with no specific highlights. We're parked in a KOA attached to a Casino where we will have dinner and may spend a few nickels for fun. The trick is to never play the winnings, otherwise you loose everything. We're moving at a rate of about 300 miles/500 km per day, basically 6+ hours of driving. Thinking of you.

... place up!!<br><br>The big excitement coming in to Tulsa was we got a flat tyre on our rental. Matt changed the tyre and we had to stop at the car rental place at Tulsa International Airport to swap it over. Anyway, got a new car okay and then this morning we noticed the front left tyre on the new car was looking suspiciously flat-ish as well!! We went back to the airport and they swapped it again for us. So fingers crossed that third time's teh charm!!

Ok..we have 2 more days till we depart.  Is everyone getting excited?  I know I am.    I just received confirmation from the Hotel in Alabama that we can make signs for the doors.  So let's get those creative juices flowing and make some signs.  Use your imagination and fake fur..maybe a splash of glitter..  Don't forget the coaches.. there is nothing more manly than a coaches name thats been bedazzled.  Here are a few pictures from the car wash.. 

So we are down to 7 days.. 7 days...For a parent don't blink..For a 14 year old its like..omg that's forever and a hundred. Plus if I hear another teenager say "it's like" one more time I'm ramming my car in a wall. <br><br>I'm sitting here in the office trying to figure out what am I going to ...

Another rest stop on the way home. Tulsa was absolutely stifling with humidity and heat when we arrived. I guess we are heading in the right direction.<br><br>On the way to Tulsa, we drove through St. Louis. We had a great view of the Arch as we drove through the city. Jerry &amp; I have both visited the Arch before, so we didn't make any stops here.<br><br>We did see a Nike Outlet at one of our roadside stops. Jerry went ...

... Yeah, there were a couple of shops interspersed in the mix, but nothing that caught my attention. We stopped at Braum's to satiate Kelly's need for peanut butter ice cream. I had a peppermint shake. Then we turned around and went north on Peoria, this time through the Cherry Street area. We saw more bars and restaurants, but widely dispersed. I really think we picked the wrong day and the wrong time to explore Tulsa. To be completely fair, there were a few coffeehouses that ...

Because of my extension in India beyond 2 years, I managed to get one more trip back to the US. For this trip, I ended up working a lot and networking even more to try and find a spot in the firm for me after I leave India. But I also managed some time to spend with the family...and also with some long lost friends in Tulsa and my good friends in Dallas. Landed into Dallas and checked into a great hotel (hotel ...

... this would create in mixdown (not to mention that we'd have to forget about punching anything in). As a result, Jim, our drummer, had to go in and lay down drum track after drum track. Just messing about learning the ropes took one day. The drums took the next. That went smoothly enough to net us the bare bones of about 17 songs, plus 10 of the 12 album tracks from a previous session that we decided to keep for the sake of ease. From there, I had my ...
