On our way to Roatan to see Sharon

We left Perry, GA. on Friday, March 18, after a very successful rally.  Said our good byes to our fellow vendor friends and told them we would see them down the road at another rally.  It is wonderful to see so many people enjoying themselves.  There were a lot of seminars and a wide variety of vendors that allowed an opportunity for attendees to procure some great deals.  As for the last part I did my best to help revive the economy.  This is the first rally that I wore my Retama shirt and jacket.  Bill said I looked "Hot".  Our first stop after the rally was at Hollywood Casino at Bay St. Louis, MS.  We stayed there for two nights.  We had a good time at the casino, especially on Friday night when we had the Seafood Buffet.  We had two free nights camping and two free buffets.  The campground is Big Rig friendly.  It was good for us because Bill did not have to disconnect the truck.  We left Bay St. Louis and headed for Beaumont TX.  We drove across an eighteen mile bridge, which went over the Louisiana wetlands.  It had its own beauty.  We saw fisherman in flat bottom boats, alligators and turtles sunning themselves.  One of the memorable things that happened on this trip is the air conditioner in the truck stopped working and it was windows down for 400 miles.  How did we ever do without A/C when we were younger.  It happened on our drive from Perry GA to Bay St. Louis.  We were very thankful when we headed for Beaumont, TX. that the air conditioner decided to work again.  We hope that it will continue to work.  Tomorrow we will be shopping to buy the things that Sharon has asked me to bring to her. We are very excited about our upcoming trip to see Sharon.  We will be there for ten days.  We are flying out of Houston to Roatan.  Will post again when we get to Houston.
