La Quinta Inn 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>

... since my inclination is to go faster than I should, so i pulled off and got a room. at 200pm local time. Today is my day off I guess. I will try again tomorrow. If its still bad weather i'm outta here and heading to SC. Oh, i gotta say after 700 odd miles with the cramp buster, i'm sold on that thing! It makes a huge difference! my hand still hurts but mostly from the previous days' ride.<br><br>see ya on the road tomorrow, hopefully.<br><br>RAH<br><br> <br> <br>

... touching your "undergarments". Anyway it was a nice gesture and i have all clean stuff now.<br><br>So this morning my uncle made the bombest waffles ever!

... come through and destroy these ones too. Why do we spend all this money to preserve the coast when it's most likely not going to last?<br><br>Then we drive over a bridge crossing an inlet and my skepticism is immediately replaced with wonderment.<br><br>What a piece of work this world is.<br><br>

... the sea gulls with little bit. They did and called us telling us that there was lots of cranes there. Well, we was in Foley already and turned around. I am glad they called because I did get some good pictures there. Like I said this trip was just too short. Our little sweetheart grand-baby was the best, sweetest little one on this trip! Thank You Father for a wonderful time with the kids.<br>

... to the campsite. We stopped off at the laundry room as the ranger had told us we could pick up a wi-fi signal there, but unfortunately we couldn't.
