I am so glad that we're starting the 560-mile drive tonight. I'm a little exhausted from doing some last bits of cleaning, doing the laundry, getting the oil changed, filling the car with gas, and finally packing. Hans could only take three days of paid leave this week, so as soon as he's done with work (in about an hour), we're going to hit the road and make it at least as far as Memphis. That way, if we get up early tomorrow (but not too early) we should be in the french quarter by the early afternoon.
I am, however, a little worried about Hans because he hasn't been sleeping well since last week and he seems to be finally succombing to a cold that has been wearing on him. Those who know him know that he rarely ever takes any medecine, and if he does, only a half dose in a single day. This afternoon he took full doses of Tylenol and Sudafed.
We shall see what happens. Hopefully we both can get some rest tonight.
Tomorrow we'll post from The Big Easy!
Edit:
After a wrong exit in Memphis and some cunning directions from Mr. Chipotle Burrito, we're enjoying the excellent vending machines and cable TV at a motel in Senatobia, Mississippi. Right off the highway behind the Wendy's and BP Gas Station.
Propane.
