Wednesday 6/30

     Well that's one month (and a few days) gone and heading into month two of this journey to the southeast and beyond.  We played golf again today and went for 18 holes for a change, since the last few rounds we only played 9 holes.  Either we're adjusting a bit to the humidity or something, but we survived this morning in half way decent order.  Sure soaking wet with perspiration at the end but to me it felt good....out with the old you know!  We got a couple of discounted coupons from one of the local casino's and a normal $60 round only cost $39 including cart and all...........sweet and on a very nice country club course.  Windance Country Club in north Gulfport, MS was the scene of the fun and we enjoyed the wide fairways but Bev had to reload after nine holes if you know what I mean!
     Tomorrow morning we head back west from Biloxi to New Orleans for a couple of days.  We will be leaving the motor home here at the RV Park and driving the car over.  I called ahead to Harrah's New Orleans and booked a room for Friday night, they were happy to comp us a room....Diamond member perks are nice while on the road.  It's only like a 90 minute drive so we'll leave fairly early so we can spend most of the day Friday and all day Saturday checking out the sights and revisiting some of the sights we can find from 44 years ago.  After all the devastation of the past and since we honeymooned there I'm sure it will be hard to relive some things, but I'm sure Bourbon street will be basically the same.  We'll be looking for one of those tour buses or trolleys or horse and buggy rides to maybe get a narrated trip around the city.  So far the years have really changed Biloxi and the Gulfport area oh so much, it's hard trying to visit old stomping grounds.  The coast line is the same and never seems to change but things across the road are the things needing to be rebuilt after hurricanes and storms, Gods things always go back to normal or work things out.
     I'll be updating again after New Orleans, we'll be back here for the 4th of July celebrations here in the Biloxi area on Sunday and Monday.  They say the weather is supposed to improve which should mean less rain and more sunshine which will equal some beach time for Beverly finally!
