Our Next Trip

I had previously said we were doing Louisville, Kentucky to Baltimore, Maryland. I was misled, we are going to end up in Albany, Georgia instead.

In Louisville, the dealership we are going to tomorrow morning will have four trucks ready for us. There is a total of 13 going to Albany. I don't know how many we will be taking, if we will do some or all but one. You'll know when I do.

Last night we stayed at the Treasure Town Inn in Tunica, Mississippi. The hotels down there, except for the casino hotels, were nearly empty. By the time we got checked in, around 10 pm, there were only four other vehicles in the parking lot. The number hadn't changed this morning.

The Treasure Town Inn had their water softener cranked up. The soap didn't want to rinse off me in the shower. I really hate the sticky feeling I have when the soap doesn't wash all the way off.

Deadheading to Louisville, Kentucky this morning we made a stop in Germantown, Tennessee at a FedExKinkos to get our logs copied and our papers FedEx'd to the dispatch office for payment this Friday. While there we went to an IHOP for breakfast before we really got on the road.

Our trip was pretty hot. Local radio stations said the temperatures were in the low 90's with a heat index of 104. The air conditioner in our pickup couldn't seem to overcome the bright and hot sun. When we made fuel stops the humidity felt almost oppressive.

Once in Louisville the temperature started to come down but not by much. Tonight we are at a Holiday Inn in Louisville. Tomorrow, we will have about seven miles further to travel to get to the pick up site.
