After a day like yesterday, we are hoping that today will be better! We woke up, John’s finger was still bandaged and not bled through so we were good to go.  Today we drove about 4.5 hours north west across Texas into New Mexico and the Mountain time zone. Along the way we saw a … More Carlsbad Caverns, our first National Park of the trip!

Let us start with talking about all of the awesome things we did and saw today. We saw the Alamo and 2 other Missions that make up the San Antonio Missions National Park (there were 2 others we didn’t get to). We had the best Mexican food we have had in a long time. Sounds … More Mishaps and Adventures in San Antonio.

This morning we woke up and headed out of Arkansas. We had a lot of driving ahead of us so we hit the road pretty early. No sooner did John said “I have to pee”, did we see a sign for Hope, Arkansas. Oh you don’t know what’s in Hope, Arkansas?! Well as of yesterday … More Little Rock to Austin, by way of Dallas. 

This morning we woke up in Nashville, enjoyed our free breakfast, and drove about 3.5 hours to Memphis. The land of the Delta Blues, que “Walking In Memphis” by Marc Cohn. We rolled in around 11:00 am, a perfect time for lunch. We chose Corky’s, a place that promised the best ribs in Memphis. Memphis … More Memphis to Little Rock: Meats and History Lessons.

After 8.5 hours and, unbenounced to us, crossing into Central time zone, we arrived in Nashville, TN!! We stayed at the Homewood Suites near the airport. Again, it was 100% free since I booked with my Hilton Honors points. Nice thing about Homewood Suites is they have a nightly reception Mon-Thurs. which included free beer.  … More First stop: Nashville!
