Royal Palms by Meyer Real Est Gulf Shores

Pensacola... the show was good, the hotel was horrible.

For the record, Pensacola does not count as Florida. The panhandle is not Florida. I know Florida. Pensacola is Alabama light.

I couldn't even find a Publix nearby!

On to New Orleans!!!!!

:)

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.

... 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.

see ya on the road tomorrow, hopefully.

... a pesky fork-seal leak Id noticed the day before. We started talking about throttle-locks, to keep my hand from falling off by the end of the day. He ended up giving me, for FREE, a little paddle shaped piece of plastic called a cramp buster. It slips on the right hand grip and you just lay your palm on it instead of having to twist the grip all day long. Oh....my....gosh. this thing is a miracle! I rode about 650 miles today ...

Leeroy experienced a road trip U.S.A style 6:30am straight to the coach with a stop at Pensacola beach nice white sands e.t.c. for lunch & Avo...too bad there was a thunder storm warning so beach was closed for the afternoon so ended up a 8 hour straight drive.. the seas were angry that day my friends.

Well, old jenny davis wasn't working.  Too bad for us.  

Anyway, I'm driving with my dad from the Flora-bama bar to Pensacola where we're staying tonight and I'm trying to figure out why. Why are all these brand new condos here? We have to know that someday a storm like Catrina ...

I met my good friend Mark in Gulf Shores to mark the bookend of my trip. We had a great time with his family doing the normal Gulf Shores things like lots of fishing, talking and whatnot. I did get a few pictures here, but at this ...

... much above the mid fifties today - pleasant and sunny with a strong breeze out of the northwest. We stopped at the visitors center for the Gulf Islands National Seashore for lunch and a walk along the shore before continuing into Alabama, still on hwy 98. We did not see much of the shoreline in Alabama as the hwy is about a mile inland through agricultural land at this point. Our neighbor tonight tells us the beaches are even ...

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STAY AT THE BEACH. THE KIDS CAME IN THE NEXT NIGHT AT THE SUGAR BEACH CONDO. WE GOT THERE FIRST BECAUSE WE WANTED TO STAY ANOTHER DAY. WE STAYED AT AMERICA'S BEST INNS AND SUITES. WE REALLY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. WE WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. THE ROOM WAS REALLY NICE. HAD A GOOD STAY THAT NIGHT. THE WEATHER WAS JUST WONDERFUL ...

... wonderful. It did rain but mostly all around us. When it did rain we were at the Wharf and on our way to Johnny Rockets. It was fun and the food was really good. We usually don't play the juke box but did this time. I was surprised by the song my daughter-in-law played. I did not know she likes the Temptations! We ate at our favorite places again and again the food was delicious. One place we ...
