BJ and I made it to Florida at 5 pm last night. It really wasn't as bad of a drive as I thought it was going to be.
We left at 1o on Tuesday and drove towards Shreveport. We got out of Texas in about 2 hours and then turned south to meet up with I-10 around Lafayette. Louisiana is a long, very tall, state. We spent about more than half of the first 13 hours in LA... and there isn't a whole lot to see. Except(!), the "live tiger exhibit" at a gas station in Gross Tete. Yep, in the middle of no where Louisiana there is a tiger sitting in a cage with a jet of water spraying on him to keep him cool. And it isn't even an Exxon...
We spent the night is Defuniack Springs, Florida and only had about 5 hours in the car the second day. We got in right before rush hour, which was nice. Last night we went to the local Indian Casino where they gave us $40 for opening a player's club account and were handing out a lot of $2 beer. A few beers and 40 (free) dollars later I was out of money - i blew it all on a sot machine that I had payed me big on the cruise... and there was a cat involved that looked like Bruce; my gambling methods are amazing. BJ played some poker and ended up ahead by about $30 (which if you count the money my mom and dad gave him for the trip and the free casino money, he was really up about $280). It was, all around, a pretty fun night.
We have to take Bj to the airport today and then I've got a list about a mile long my mom has for me to get done in the next 6 days. I got my British Passport in the mail just before I left Dallas. It's very pretty. I am all official now.
