Staybridge Stes 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>

not good news to report today. I left pensacola FL this morning bound for Miami. Fate had another plan in store...5 or six miles east on I-10 traffic stopped cold. Uuugh...i hate that. Stop and go traffic and no lane splitting makes me cranky. Each time i have to stop theres a high chance of me losing my balance and falling over. The next thing that happened was the state troopers directed everyone off at SR 90, which parallels I-10 but goes thru the little towns and has ...

Today has been a blur! I got into Houston last night at I dont konw what time, but it had just gotten dark. It was about 650 miles from New Mexico to Pearland (Houston TX), a very cool ride through Hill Country. Grif will be happy to know that i was drops away from running out of gas...I got off the little backroads and hit I-10 just as the low fuel light came on. I figured there would be fuel right around the corner....uh huh... I ...

<br>5 pm<br><br>Well, old jenny davis wasn't working.  Too bad for us.  <br><br>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 ...

This was our first night on the road. We stayed at the Choice Inn, which was very nice for the price. Alex and Arielle liked the free bag of cookies, and the adults enjoyed a good night's sleep. Too bad the next morning got off to such a bad start, when we found a nail in our tire and had to drive around town til we found someone to fix it. <br>

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 ...

WE ATE AT ALL OF OUR FAVORITE PLACES...CRACKER BARREL, CICI'S PIZZA, BUBBA'S, LAMBERTS, HAZEL'S. THEN, OF COARSE, WE ALL TOOK LITTLE SWEET HEART TO SCOOPS!!!! HUBBY MADE THE BEST BREAKFAST(HIS BISCUITS MELT IN YOUR MOUTH), OUR SON MADE A SHRIMP BOIL WITH NEW ...

... not make it to eat was Lambert's! Lord willing, we will get to eat there next time. We went back to Bear Point Marina and went on the Dolphin Cruise. This Dolphin Crusie was better than the last. The video clips are pretty good. Three days, for me, is just not a long enough! Anyway, on the way out the kids called us and told us they were going out to the bridge and take pictures of the birds and ...
