We are once again busy with planning. The internet is way too fast and easy to locate information. We managed to schedule our Christmas Eve on the levees, after Christmas Cruise on the Mississippi, a walking tour of the French Quarter and an old cemetary and know where we will go on the trolley via the Jazzy Pass to the Oaks. All that is left is our departure date of December 16.
We have revised our schedule and will now leave on the 16 at 4:00 pm and asphalt dock at the Cracker Barrel in Columbia, SC. From there we will make it to Atlanta the night of the 17--another asphalt dock. Our third and fourth nights are in Mobile, AL. From there we will drive to The Shed. We will spend the rest of our stay touring Mobile and the coast.
We have yet to draft our budget form for the month of September. It will be a work in progress as we look to minimize our expenses both for our homebase and travel.
The Dodge is running and awaiting its new dash. I have few other repairs to start this week including the AFC and I want to remove the power seat and verify the wiring. May be I can get the saftey belt light to go off when I snap the buckle.
I am off to nurse this case of poison ivy I picke up doing some yard work last week.
We2 need a few more suggestion on what to see in New Orleans. We wanted to see a Saints football game, but tickest start at $114 each...

Our next big adventure
While we are looking forward to a few weekend trips here in North Carolina, we are also planning our next extended adventure.
With 2 weeks to travel during Christmas break (December 17-January 01, 2012) we have targeted New Orleans as our next great destination. As of now, we will be staying at the KOA West--given location and costs, KOA is close to a best of.
We are currently mapping our trop from Lillingyon, North Carolina to New Orleans. We want to be in New Orleans on December 21 or 22. That allows 5-6 days travel to New Orleans. Departing December 26 gives us 4-5 days in the city.
On our way down we are looking at an overnight near Columbia, South Carolina and a visit to the art museum. Another over night between Augusta, Georgia and Atlanta--possibly an hour past Atlanta. The third night we wold like to be in Montgomery, Alabama to tour the city and see its history. Our 4th night in either Mobile, Alabama or Biloxi, Mississippi before pulling into New Orleans for 4 days of adventure.
Coming back home, we are stopping in Hattiesburg, Mississippi along I-59 on to Birmingham, Alabama.
Any suggestions on what we should see along our route? Any road houses in Mississippi?
On a side, we are planning to be in Washington D.C for the unveiling of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on August 28, 2011 at 11:00 A.M.
