I woke early on Monday, got my faithful companion HW2 going, and we left Gulf Port about 5:30 am. We stopped for a bite of breakfast along the way and kept going. There were some traffic problems around Baton Rouge, probably caused by people going to work, but we gradually worked out of that. After that it was rather uneventful, except for trying to get around a convoy of parts for a windmill that required three or four trucks, and leading and following trucks announcing Wide Load.
We stopped in San Antonio, TX, at a Red Robin for an early dinner and a brief rest, and we discovered that our favorite Texas microbrewery (Shiner) had a new selection, Black Ale. Of course we had to try it, and it was good. Aren't all beers good? We then felt we could drive the last 50-60 miles and took off for Kerrville. On the way we called the good folks at Guadalupe River RV Resort, and they were ready and waiting for us when we arrived about 5:30 pm. This last day of travel was 7-800 miles and one of the longer travel days we have ever had. Gary helped us get the motor home from storage, moved to our site, and set up. We partially unloaded the car, headed for the showers, watched President Bush deliver his seventh State of the Union address, and went to bed.
Our nearly two month long trip was over. We had traveled over 6000 miles, visited three kids and their families, my mom, two brothers and wives and more family, and many friends. We got to revisit New York City, Washington, DC, and the WWII Memorial. We also made it down the East coast to Savannah, GA, which we had not visited before and thoroughly enjoyed. We truly deserve our self-given titles of the Happy Wanderers, but we feel so blessed to be able to take such a trip, visit family and friends, and see people and places that are new or return visits. However, it was good to get home. Happy travels to all of you.
