As much as we enjoyed all of these fun things there was something missing for us. It dawned on us that we missed traveling. To us travel is the adventure of discovery. So with the travel bug in our hearts we decided to sell our home, buy an RV and fulfill our desire for travel and adventure. Our timing was not the greatest as far as weather is concerned. We left Florida during a very cold Arctic cold front and the weather for the most part has either been cold or rainy. In spite of the weather we have really enjoyed ourselves. We have met some fellow travelers who too are following their desire to explore what our great country has to offer.
The temperature has warmed up so it is so nice not to have to wear those heavy jackets, gloves and hats, but rain has replace cold. Hopefully when we get a little further west we will see a change for the better. At least we are comfortable in the coach no matter what the weather is doing outside. For that we are thankful.
We leave Pontchartrain Landing RV Resort tomorrow and will be staying at an Elks Lodge just west of here. We are there for one night then on Monday morning we take Elaine to the airport, hook up the car behind the RV and head for Beaumont, TX for one night, and then onto Houston.
One of the things that New Orleans is famous for is great food. Sometimes it is at a fancy restaurant and sometimes a diner. The Camellia Grill is not fancy, but the place is always packed and the food is really good. Another great place was Pascal's Malale. Today we are going to Commanders Palace where I have to wear a sports jacket (no jeans) and dress pants. Oh the things we must do to enjoy a good meal. What a way to start the year.
Happy New Year. Until next time, miles of smiles,
Charlie, Andrea, and Angel

HNY Brother Charles and Sister Andrea,
Cold weather is good for cuddling and cuddling is good for couples so I hope you maximize the bennies of this cold front. It has warmed up quite a bit in the last few days MUCH to Comet's disappointment. He LOVES the cold. Mom not so much. Maybe the scents are better in the cold. All I know is I am super glad I taught him the command "hurry up". Having a dog that can potty on command is a wonderful thing. :-)
Much love, Sister Mary
Hey! Finally we got your blog address! It was great reading of your adventures. Sounds like lots of fun. Weather has been eventful here, too, as I am sure you have heard. School starts back tomorrow. Too many snow days the last week of the semester has caused the first week back to be the last week of last semester. :(
Love! Debbi
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you both and Happy Chinese New Year of the rabbit.(because this is so belated, thought we'd add that)
Love you and miss you. We will be meeting somewhere this year. Shall we place bets as to where? Based on your casino record, maybe Ken and I will win. We know that there is a winning number out there waiting for you.
