Hi Joey&#33;<br /><br />Hi Debbie&#33;<br /><br /><br />Jackie...had a chance to read some more of your journal tonight.  What a great adventure you and Tony are on, and how wonderful that you are journaling it all.  My first husband and I used to travel across country, and I just loved it.  One year we put on around 10, 000 miles in 3-weeks...that&#39;s too much driving every day, but he loved driving.   We were selling some home-made billiard cue sticks that he made that year.<br /><br />We did it the rough way though back then...we were very young.  We did get a camper on a 4-wheel drive truck one year, and right before he died (in a car accident) we did finally get a motor home ( a mini-motor home).   I kept and used the motor home and went to the lake with my daughter and my folks for weekends and vacations for over a year, and then I decided to sell it and get a trailer to keep at the lake for me and my daughter.  My folks had one already there.<br /><br />I really do miss being on the road.  I don&#39;t know if I could ride for those long hours anymore, but if we were able to stop a lot, I would just love it.  Louisiana is great..we traveled through some of it back in the early &#39;70s.  I loved being in New Orleans.  What a great historical place, and a fun place, too.  Lots of great food, jazz...and those hurricane drinks.  Yummm&#33;  Enjoy your travels&#33;  Thanks for the recipe...I copied it...it sounds great.<br /><br />Falina...your kitty is adorable&#33;<br /><br />Ed...enjoy the Olympics.<br /><br />Shaunna...Yes...MN in the Fall can be just beautiful.  I love the Fall...except for the thought of the long, dark, cold winter coming...LOL  Did the Sam-e help?  If not that margarita of Cheryl&#39;s did look very inviting.   <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Have a great day, everyone&#33;
