Day 8 - on our way to New Orleans




Speeding along route I-20 through Texas and Louisiana after a late start this morning. We didnt get on the road and leave Dallas until almost 10 am.

The road is wet and well traveled. We are having to fight our way along with all the trucks and families traveling either home or away from home for the holidays.

Chyna is now driving and im using her phone to tether my laptop to and access the internet which seems to be working out nicely.

We really enjoyed our stay at the ranch in Dallas and look forward to returning there on our way home. -- Our gracious thanks to the Nelson family for the hospitality --

However, right now we are dead set on making it to New Orleans and taking a walk along Bourbon street experiencing the French Quarter with mint juleps in our hands. The GPS says we still have 417 miles to go.. at just about 7pm and we should be entering the city limits.

Stay tuned..... Pics of New Orleans life to come!
