Little Rock Doubletree Hotel

Decided that Dallas was over rated especially with no sports teams playing in the city this weekend so hit the road again to head to Memphis on the 30 East.

Made it to Little Rock and decided to grab a room for the night and make the rest of the journey in the morning......Hopefully catch the Celts again there too playing Memphis.

I left OKC with sun and cloud and 44 F. But as miles of farmfields and trees passed, the clouds thickened up and I wondered when the thermometer would hit 50. It did in spite of the persistent cloud cover, about an hour outside of Little Rock. But, hey, it did not rain.
Saw more of the city than my last ride thru because my motel is 5 mi sout...

I made it back home after about three months of travel. I really enjoyed my trip, but it was good to be able to get home and relax and not have to worry about getting to the next town or finding a place to stay, and having space for my stuff and getting home-cooked meals is even better. My little brother took over my room, though, so now I'm in ...

Ok I have to do a better job of writing in this blog every night as I am forgetting what has happened and what we have eaten ( for those of you that are foodies.) Ok so right now we are sitting poolside inthe Best Western Amarillo Inn it is 8.45 and we are waiting for our pizza and pasta delivery. Debbie is on her laptop, me on mine and the girl...

Ok..so after a unfound 126 Exit and many phone calls, all of our group (with exception of Whimpy's car...we temporarily lost her but she is stoped a few exits away!) stopped at a Wendy's for lunch. The trip has been pretty uneventful so far. Thnakfully no break downs or any big problems. We are almost done eating and then will head back on the r...

Today we finally said our goodbyes to Anne and Leonard in Huntsville. We had not expected to stay quite so long in Huntsville, but everyday there was a new excuse for not leaving. It was initially about making sure that we missed the hurricane related storms from Gustav, then Leonard was trying to get a golf game going for Steve and he to play w...

A million apologies to our devoted two fans, Mom and Dad, for not updating our blog recently, but we assumed since we were staying with you any further entries were not necessary. We assumed incorrectly. After a very, very long drive from Denver to Little Rock via Kansas and Oklahoma, we had a wonderful few days of Southern hospitality at Casa d...

I pull the curtain back, peep out at the parking lot below, a pretty building just next door, white marble, could be a museum? No sign out front, but steps are wide and welcoming. It's raining still, well rats and sucky damn. Not sprinkles coming down, but gushing rain, real Land of Weather stuff. It looks as though I'll have to change my plans....
