We are here - we made it. I am tired of riding. Sat waaaay too long.
The traveling was great until this morning when we got to Jackson Ms. It is true what they say about southern drivers - they are NOT used to icy roads. There were spin outs on some of the bridges. Once we cleared Jackson the rain stopped but I can tell you, the weather is far from warm. It is raining here in NOLA and the wind is really going. It is COLD.
The accommodations leave a lot to be desired. We are in what has been referred to as carney accommodations. We have to go across the yard to shower and use the "facilities". This is going to prove interesting. The guys are happy - they have the Taj Mahal of a trailer and a big screen TV in the common room. Think it is evenly divided between those rooting for the Packers and those who are rooting for the other team. I don't like football so I don't care.
Dinner is coming soon so I am going to go for now. Tomorrow is our first day of work so it will be early to bed so it can be early to rise.
Love you all.
