Welcome!

Join me on a trip to the South - the far south.

My husband and I will be driving from Illinois to the Riviera Maya in Mexico.

Day 1 - And we're Off!

Never one to get up early, we strolled out of Wheaton around 9:30am, headed for St. Louis to see Claire and baby Izzy. A phone call about an hour into the trip told us that Claire and Izzy weren't available after all, so our GPS girl won out and we headed down the back roads to I-57. I was so sure that I-55 took us to Memphis and Pete was sure that I-57 was the way. Turns out we were both right, but MY way would've taken us way out of our way. (This should have served as our early warning that Lady Luck wasn't traveling with us on THIS vacation.) It was a long drive to Tunica, MS. We arrived about 10ish.

We registered at the Hollywood Casino and headed down to the Penny slots. I busted after a few bucks, but Pete was pretty lucky. We should've remembered to quit when we were ahead. Oh well. Easy come, easy go. Our bed was in the top 2 most comfortable beds we've ever slept in. Nighty night.
