Residence Inn By Marriott Springfield

We tried shopping for Bill's clothes, we rode all over Springfield to find a Mall to shop. It was not easy, we went to many stores and found no pants that he liked, he bought 4 T-shirts at WalMart and we were back on the road after a couple hours.<br><br>We stopped at a KOA park and they wanted $37.98 for one night with full hook up. We didn't stay. We went down the road and found this wonderful motel with an indoor pool and hot tub for ...

... tube when they were riding on it. After a bunch of fun rides, we headed for the marina to eat lunch. My dad took me to the boathouse to get a fishing rod. I did not do any serious fishing I just practiced casting the line out into the water. A couple of people in our boat decided to go for a swim including me. After that we drove the boat back to the marina and headed back to the lodge. <br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Jerry the Rock Lobster

... had landed at a Bass Pro Shop. There we even the little animal tracks in the floor to make it even more interesting. We drove out to the house and when we got there we took out our cell phones. We realized that this place had no cell phone service which made it very interesting. Well that is all that is amazing for today. Tomorrow I think it it will be a lot more fun.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Jerry the Rock Lobster

... found that they had changed the tip amount on the debit card slip from $4 to $40 dollars. This also caused 2 overdrafts to occur later (hey, it was right before payday!). Anyway, they refuse to admit their error. DON'T GO THERE! After lunch, we went to the Lincoln Presidential Museum. It was actually sorta neat. We saw two 3-D movies and many artifacts from his life and times (including a bloody pair of gloves he was wearing the night he was assassinated).

... 66-merkkistä root beeriä mukaan autoon. Alan pikkuhiljaa tottumaan tähän root beerin makuun. <br><br><br>Route 66 on tämän matkan varrella selvästi kova juttu, vaikka itse valtatietä ei enää virallisesti ole olemassa. Siellä täällä näkyy kuitenkin "Old Road 66"-kylttejä, jotka ohjaavat pienemmille teille, joiden kautta 66 on ennen kulkenut. Tällä alunperin Chicagosta Los Angelesiin kulkevalla valtatiellä on pitkä historia - se oli ensimmäinen kokonaisuudessaan p ...

... this, which is focused on doing good for people while simultaneously making a living themselves. http://www.globalfayre.com I also had a nice chat with Terry at Springfield Hot Glass Shop, but I missed seeing him blow glass as the fire hadn't gotten hot enough yet. They also give classes but, considering the damage I do to myself with an iron or oven, blowing hot glass is probably just asking too ...

On the drive back to Kansas City, Kelly and I agreed that Springfield doesn't make for a very entertaining road trip. There are some restaurants that I miss and crave, but I won't spend two days there again.<br>I forgot to mention that while driving sround ...

... she told me - "That will be $2.80." OMG!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? No refund for the totally wrong, $4 mocha AND you're charging me for the coffee? Seriously, I thought about letting the glass fall to the floor. The name of this cafe was Rendezvous Coffee. Looking for it online, I can not find it, so it may have changed since this visit, and good riddance. What a nightmare. <br><br>Our next stop was the new movie theater, Hollywood Theaters ...

... cities, the more important the old route 66 turns to be for the locals. Small towns are flooded with route 66 memorabilia and every merchant tries to find a way to exploit the classical brand. But why not? This is the theme here and fits very well with the surroundings. <br>

... go slower than the astronauts and faster than Magellan and Drake but I would have an opportunity to see the country, meet and talk to people along the way. <br><br><br><br>It is the greatest rail journey on the planet. Stretching almost 11000 km from London to Hong Kong, via Berlin, Warsaw, Belaurs, Moscow, Ulaan Bator and Beijing. The very name of this engineering marvel evokes images of exotic, adventurous, travel. As a leg of an around-the-world trip ...
