on a mission

We'll after a few days of non stop visiting in TN we were heading toward west TN for a few days but after a couple of days we decide to head on to Mission...Reid was ready to quit driving for a while and get there. As we're leaving I told Reid instead of doing the drive in 3 days lets get it over with and do it in two...He said ok. But let me explain my thinking. I thought it was going to be 3 four hrs days...so lets just don it in 2 six hrs days...I was wrong...it was going to be 3 six hrs days so trying to get there in two days was going to make it a long 8 hrs drive both days...now we've done that before but I don't really like to do that anymore..but the decision was made. So I knew it's going to be a while before we stop again and when Reid drives I help him out by sleeping. that way I'm not telling him to get over, slow down, speed up, watch that car, etc so I take a nap and when I wake up he tells me that it's going to be just as easy to head on down to I-10 and go that way..Ok that's fine with me. I ask him were are we stopping for the night cause I was ready to stop but we'd stayed in Vinton, La before and it's about half way so we are going there. It's a couple of hrs away. When we finally get there it's about 5 I guess and we're more than ready to stop. We pull in and they are full...so we head out again...we pass couple of other RV parks and the rigs are jammed in there also. Now we're getting worried. we see a sign for the Flying J and we don't like using them and we never have but we'll check them out and we see another sign for a RV park so we stop in. The Lady running it said she's booked too and everything in that area (about 100 miles from Houston) has been booked up since IKE..now we know we're in trouble. The Flying J didn't have any spots for RV so we got the map out for walmarts...and that's another story. read on
