Where are we today ?
We gonna head down the road this morning. Up early as usual the standard computing, coffees and walkabouts, just waiting for the sun to warm things up a bit. Just before 9 am we were all secured and ready to hit the road. No real hurry only 179 miles to do on the interstate. No need to take the back roads we have toured this area many times.
It was a perfect travel day, sunshine, blue skies, not too warm or cold and no wind.

Stopped for fuel at the Flying J in Moss Point Mississippi, good deal for gas here , really love the gas prices! $2.52 a gallon and with a 15% exchange rate only .76.9 cents a litre compared to $1.10 a litre in Ontario. We saved over $65.00 on this fill up alone, almost like we are being paid to be here in the USA.
Carried on down the road travelling over the swamps to Louisiana.
Gonna be here for about a week so stopped into the wonderful Visitor centre.
Back onto I-10 for a while, love the lane markings so you know what lane to be in. We taking I-12 so in the middle lane.
Arrived at Robert LA. about 12:30 another membership park we have been to a few times before. Nice park, only $10.00 a night with full hookups and free wifi to. This is a busy weekend here lots going on. Family and kids stuff but no problem they will all be gone tomorrow after noon. Veterans day weekend with nonstop activities.

Just love Louisiana and this part of the southern USA, except for the cold damp weather. I don't do cold humidity very well. Too many aches and pains. Dry Arizona is calling us big time.
About 4 days here maybe even see a few new places while we are here.
Thanks for stopping by again hope you had a great day too.

Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Winter.
Looks like your weather is very nice. Much nicer than here in Houston.
ReplyDeleteWe really appreciate that markings on the highway also. Wish all the expressways did this.
Its cool but at least the sun is shining and no wind.
DeleteAny plans to try some seafood restaurants in the area?
ReplyDeleteNo plans but we will see. I prefer to cook our own, but something might just catch our fancy, maybe some cajun food.
DeleteOut of all that, the thing that stands out to me are the road markings. Such a good idea. It's something that is done throughout the EU, and makes it easier to be in the correct lane if you're coming up to an interchange. No last second scrambling. Wish they'd put it into practise here.
ReplyDeleteYes the markings sure are nice, and like you said makes it so easy to navigate.
DeleteGlad you got such a good deal on your gas, it's wonderful to see prices at that level again. Of course, I have a diesel... :c(
ReplyDeleteOh well there is plus and minuses with either gas or diesel. Our coach does the trick for us.
DeleteGlad to have met you both at Southern Trails. We enjoy your blog and look forward to meeting you down the road. Safe travels😊
ReplyDeleteI was really nice meting you guys too, enjoy your pecans.
DeleteLooks like a nice park for a few days and with this cold snap, I can see why Arizona is calling. I remember that long bridge across the swamp. It's always nice to have you Canadians help our economy and if it's a great deal for you as well, it makes it even better.
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoy spending our money here, the great people we meet and warm weather.
DeleteTime to whip up a little Cajun BBQ on the Weber, George!
ReplyDeleteJust might do that!
DeleteDry Arizona calls us during the wintertime too. Maybe that's why we're all snowbirds and "fly" south for the winter.
ReplyDeleteYes, we enjoy it here but looking forward to Arizona.
