Update #3 - Finally......

Well, I finally landed in Gulf Shores, Alabama yesterday at about 6:00 p.m. Got a pretty decent room with an ocean view, and walked down the beach for a beer or two. Pretty lazy day considering I was worn out, exhausted, frustrated and everything else. Can you believe that even as far away as I am, some of the area has smoke here too!! Oh well....I'm determined not to let it get me down. I swore to myself that I was going to have a kick-ass time, and I meant it!!

I'm trying to decide on my splurge this trip. Either a massage or a new tattoo. I'm seriously torn.

BTW: I have no internet access in my room, so I may not be able to post everyday. The cool thing is..all I have to do to get access is drive to the library right down the street and pull in their parking lot. Instant access. So, right now, I'm sitting in the car typing this post. That's just too cool.

I'll try to check in later. See ya!!
