THURSDAY OCTOBER 1, 2015

Good morning! We were up at 5 anxious to get "on the road (again)". Haha. By 7:15 we were rolling. It's a good travel day ... cloudy and 77F


About noon, we stopped in Perry, Georgia to mail our eBay packages. It's a lovely town with very friendly people. We had lunch at McDonald's and waited out a rainstorm. After a few minutes we checked NOAA and saw the storm was stationary! Hmmm; we gave up waiting and drove out of it in 5 miles. 

Speaking of storms, our friends who winter in Marsh Harbour, will want to keep an eye on Hurricane Joaquin ...


The big blob of pink is the hurricane!

At 3:10 we stopped at Alabama Welcome Center on I-20W. It was a beautiful rest area and visitor center with rocking chairs on the back porch overlooking woods. 

Back on the road, I spoke with Bradley at Jerry's RV. They were just finishing our RV repairs! Wow, great! So, we decided we'd drive to Tuscumbia Alabama to stay in a hotel there tonight. The traffic was much lighter past Atlanta.

While we were stopped on highway I 57 picking up our supper and feeding Robbie, I picked up my phone. It wouldn't turn on so I tried again. Nothing!  I thought 'oh gosh, I guess the battery's dead' but said out loud "It's gone kaput-ski." Siri came on out of the dark screen ... "I couldn't find  anyone named butt too ski in your contacts. Shall I try the Internet?"  LOL. 

Well, we arrived at 7 o'clock at Key West   Hotel in Tuscumbia Alabama. It sounds pretty fancy, but believe me, it's not. I requested a smoke free room. The only thing smoke-free about this room is the maid left the door open for 10 minutes after the last smoker left. I can't stop coughing. Drat. This is just one of the reasons why we RV! And it's not "cheap"!

Okay okay ... We've enjoyed a liquid libation and mellowed our outlook. LOL. Dawn (and Randy) were at hospital when Mary, son Brandon's girl had baby Brandon. Confused? This is Dawn's first grandson! Yay. 

It's now 9:45 and Marky's in la la land so Ta ta til tomorrow. 

Do YOU think we got the NO SMOKING room???
