On the road again ...

Well, sort of .. kind of... Doug and I and the little red car are back on the road, while our house stays in Mission. We are spending the week with Doug's brother Dave and his wife Michele in Orlando. It is all together 1347 miles and that means a lot of driving. We left Mission on Sunday morning at 8 am and drove, and drove, and drove. Highway 10 after Houston is just a big mess, between the road construction and the poor road conditions it sure was no fun. I am so glad that we did not bring the rig with us this way. We are thinking already on how to avoid this area this spring when we head up towards Arkansas. We drove in two hour shifts and by 8 pm we had made it all the way to Biloxi, MS. As further east we are heading as more greener it gets. It is so nice to see the grass and trees blooming again compared to our brown and dried out grass in Texas. Spanish moss is hanging of the trees and it is really pretty. We left Biloxi at 7 am the next morning in a wall of fog and really did not get to see to much from Alabama, but at least we really did not have much traffic to deal with. I did not realize how long Florida is; almost as bad as Texas. You drive and drive and drive and then we finally arrived in Orlando around 5 pm that day. Our two bedroom apartment is just fine and we should have a good time here.
