I retained my dignity…

…and made it to Thibodaux's Premiere RV in Scott, LA, without any mishaps.  I even found a way to exit Swinging Bridge RV to avoid most of the huge speed bumps and all of the curbs.  The only problem along the 226 mile drive was that the rest area that I planned to stop at for relief for both Emma and me was closed.  I guess it’s a good thing I don’t drink coffee.

IMG_3721Last night, after I had set up for the night, Jerry and Wanda from EggRollings stopped by to say hello.  They are fellow bloggers whose blog I follow, and they were camping at a state park in Jackson, MS.  They camp in a Casita and also do hot air balloon flying.  Many of you know it’s always a hoot to meet fellow bloggers on  the road, and we had a short, but enjoyable meeting.  Wanda even volunteered to hold the ‘wild child’ while I took their picture.  Smile

I’ve got full hookups here at Premiere, and even set up the DISH this afternoon.  I need to beef up my DVR recordings after not having satellite TV for the last two weeks.  Not much else is new from here.  I’m happy to finally be here, and I’ll find out tomorrow what the repair schedule will be.  It seems to me, being in Louisiana, I may just see a shrimp Po'boy in the not too distant future…

Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later,  Judy

    It's good to hear you didn't have any unexpected problems along the way...except maybe for the rest area being closed. Hope the repairs go along quickly and you can reload your frig.

    Definitely time for you to have an uneventful day. What are you going to do about the fridge? Get a new house type one?

    Do you ever watch the Top Chef shows on Bravo TV? Next week a new one begins: Top Chef Texas. Another favorite show of ours is starting up again in a couple of week: Gold Rush. I'm happy you arrived safely at your temporary destination!

    226 miles without a mishap, how is that possible?)
    Things are really starting to look up!

    Good to see this part of your trip was mishap free.I too am curious about the fridge issue, I wonder if home units can stand the abuse of being jostled and vibrated when traveling.Don't know where you can look for a definitive answer to that one.Emma looks like she is being a good girl waiting to get her picture taken. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna...

    Good Job getting there! We arrived in New Orleans yesterday ~ I had a panic attack so wasn't a very good navigator until we could find a lot and I could settle down a bit! Then we found our cg and even went down to the French Quarter for dinner... muffellta (yummy!!!) and a carriage ride and driving around after a short walk!! I never wanted to really come here but it is kind of fun!

    Hope everything goes swiftly and easily for you!!! Enjoy your po-boy!

    that was a seriously long drive with lots of concentration needed. Hope Emma helped.
    I might just have to stroll over to Jerry and Wanda's now and check out their casita.
    Take care.

    So glad you arrived safely and just perhaps Murphy took his leave. I think you certainly deserve a Po'boy and maybe a good bottle of wine to celebrate.

    I'll have to catch up to your goings on when I'm back from my trip to Turkey, but in the meantime, so glad to hear you've arrived in LA ... may your woes soon be over.
