La Quinta Inn Sulphur

... m overwhelmed by the sedentary nature of most Americans. The personal vehicle is an American institution, a birth rite and second home, and it’s simply amazing to what lengths we’ll go NOT to have to walk anywhere. At the mere mention of going for a walk after a meal, one will undoubtedly be confronted with a dozen excuses – "but the heat is so oppressive," “ah but it looks like it’s about to rain,” “but the mosquitoes are so ...

It's an enchanted forest, steam rising from the ground that sits too low. If I stopped the car and got out, I would either sink or float away and it would be the same thing. Everything is just flat and green, life swarming out of the ground. Trees line the horizon, dark, half submerged in swampy water.Mercifully, the sun has not yet taken its place in the sky. Layers of ...

Quick entry, then back to the Casino for a little early morning action. Twenty-five bucks and I get a RV hookup site and all the fantastic amenities of this fine resort. What a deal. Gotta be on the road by noon - New Orleans, here I come!

... he wasn't feeling good and came to the surface. Not too long after getting out he collapsed from what I was told was a heart attach. They brought him back to life a couple times but lost him on the helicopter ride to the hospital. We ended up diving 5 times and spent about 5 hours under water. So far 80 feet is the deepest I've been.

... normally it is easy to spot many more alligators and other animals such as bobcats and racoons, but that the weather has been so dry this year, the habitats and activity patterns of many species have been altered and made them more difficult to find. I was definitely satisfied with the experience and would highly recommend the park. This was a perfect time of year to see it too - pleasantly warm as opposed to the sweltering heat of mid summer.

I'll pay my library fines and then off to Ragley to leave the Mercedes with Dad for the next three months (at least). He will take me to Intercontiental Airport Houston very early in the AM New Years Eve for a connection in San Francisco before crossing the Pacific to Seoul and finally Phnom Penh late New Year's Day.

... and we made a feast in the room. What a great dinner, costing only about $8. In the morning, I met with the hotel manager, who was nervously avoiding me all moring, even though I had asked the front desk to have her contact me when she arrived. , I was told, she was the only one that could honor Comfort Inn's '100% Satisfaction Guarantee" - which states that if you are not satisfied with the hotel for any reason, and they can not ...

... Pointe. I can't believe that...even in Florida the highest I paid (at Sandestin) was $2.90...guess they're mighty proud of their casino or else they're waiting for The Donald to stop by in his megayacht... We got to Bridge Pointe just in the nick of time. The weather was getting really ugly again and by the time we tied up in our slip, it came down in buckets again, with tornadic-looking clouds hovering ...

... what the venue is called. The only real news is that we got a new fiddle player yesterday in New Orleans. His name is Jens (pronounced "yens"). He's German, but you would never know it except by his name. He's a younger guy, really cool, and a great musician too! We are putting him into a few numbers tomorrow, so I hope ...

... visit, especially around McNeese State University. I will post what I find there before I leave next month. For those coming here to visit there is not much to do really unless you go out on the lake and fish or jump on a jet ski. If you want a quiet, relaxing place away from the big city then this is the place for it. A big positive I have found is that almost everything ( LC mall, wal mart, food) is within 5-10 minutes driving from any point in the city ...
