I suggest Paris, Marshall, Athens (check out the fish hatchery there), Longview in Texas. A great drive is to hit Highway 80 at the Mississippi border with Louisiana and take that all the way into...

I prefer that route, but it does take longer. US Highways are still subject to local traffic laws when going through towns so you wind up getting stopped at red lights and the speeds will often drop...

The weather there is a little trickey sometimes, so it will be good to check it out before you head out of the air conditioning each morning. I was there in June 2007. On the first day it was 110 on...

Living in Louisiana means that this is almost always on. Especially early morning, late at night and during rain storms. I had that going full blast last night and it definitely helped. I'm going to...

Thanks for the suggestions I will look for those. One other thing. Do those work for the inside as well? Or do I need to find something else?

I never realized how dirty my windshield was until...

It has come to the time of year that I find myself traveling the backroads of Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas in the cold and rain of December and often at odd hours. It was pouring rain last night and...

Talking about the difference between flying into Houston or Dallas. Have you tried looking at flying into Shreveport, LA or Longview, TX? When I was booking my flight to England I checked Dallas and...

I was able to rent from Enterprise when I was under 21, but that was through my insurance company. They were the only ones who would even think about renting me a car.

However, the under 25 rule...

I'm not a fan of cruise control for resting my feet, but I drive a lot in areas known for having speed traps. I set my cruise control a little below the speed limit when I'm going through these towns...

Duh on my part. It's one of those cities that I've always wanted to visit since I learned that it's the city that one of my ancestors settled in when she came over from the West Indies in the years...

Please tell us the tale. I love a good roadtrip story.

I've got tickets to go and see the 24 Hours at Daytona Rolex Series Race on January 24-25, 2009. I've also requested 4 vacation days during that time so that leaves me with time to explore the Gulf...

If you don't want to go the route of buying or renting there is also Amtrak in addition to Greyhound. Amtrak is more expensive, but it gets you around much faster.

From personal experience I can...

I definitely second asking around for good places to eat, etc. I always ask at the hotel I've just checked into about good local cuisine. I have had some superb meals and some really odd meals from...

I live in Shreveport,LA and made the treck down to Galveston, Texas for the re-opening of the island. I have had no problems getting gas. I'm guessing that these gas shortages are more local than...

We went down to Galveston yesterday to check on my Aunt's house. By a complete miracle her entire block was intact and there was only minimal damage and no flooding. The rest of the island looks...

Since you're already going to be in New Orleans and heading towards I-20 into Atlanta may I suggest visiting Vicksburg, Mississippi. The siege there lasted a long time and there is a National Park...

Not surprising that there is no change in Louisiana. But I will definitely agree on the strange weather. It's been a fairly cool summer here. We only had two weeks in July that were really hot, but...

Welcome!

Your idea is definitely feasible with a three month time frame in mind.



I understand. I went to England and Scotland earlier this year and was very surprised that it was only a 4...

I'd look into adding a day to your trip. I did almost this same trip last summer, but starting from Shreveport. It was a good 3 days of traveling with lots of fun stops along the way.

May I...

That's plently of time to try several routes and do a bit of exploring off the road you plan on taking. I'd suggest looking up the tourism websites for the individual states that you will be passing...

I'm looking forward to reading you blog this summer. That's a trip I'd like to do one day - except I'd have to start in Texas or Oklahoma and do it over the course of two trips. Still sounds like...

$375 - yeah that would really be bad if that was pounds.

I've already called my credit card companies - so all is taken care of there. I actually did that a couple of days ago - I'm just paranoid...

Noticed That. Blech!

I'm heading out tomorrow to find a new "dressy" dress for the Broadway Musical. I got attacked by a 16 foot tree at a gig today - took two men (one an Air Force guy) to take...

I may have to pick it up for my upcoming flight.



That's one of the reasons I've started taking the 2 lane US Highways. Although, sometimes it would be nice to see a McDonalds or Burger King...
