I truly appreciate it. Melanie and I had a relaxing summer after our big spring road trip. We really didn't travel anywhere. I did visit Pennsylvania DutchLancaster and Atlantic City with my mother back in August. Mel and I also had a nice weekend in New Hampshire and Ogunquit Maine this fall and also went to Salem MA for the Halloween fe http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Rhode-Island/Providence/blog-344740.html Howdy Today is a sad day because Melanie and I have to leave Texas. We could easily spend another 3 weeks in this one state and never get bored. Fort Worth and the surrounding area certainly impressed us and we can't wait to come back. Yesterday Wed May 28 Mel and I decided to take the 35 minute drive to Dallas. Now listen I don't know what the heck is wrong with us but for some reason we see http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Texas/Fort-Worth/blog-281400.html Hi Billy Bob's Honky Tonk was so impressive and fun I decided to post the pictures seperately. Enjoy Des http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Texas/Fort-Worth/blog-281250.html Okay so lets get down to the boots and buckles. Melanie was accosted today by a slimy mid 60's died jetblack hair 1970'sstyled cigarette pack in shirt pocket vintage caddy driving motel loving Hunter Thomas reading bastard. Before I go on about how much we loved Fort Worth I have to get this off my chest. Suuuuure Melanie was in a flimsy gray tanktop because the temp was going to be 95 http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Texas/Fort-Worth/blog-281125.html The pictures from New Orleans Louisiana were so plentiful and special I wanted them to have their own blog space. Des http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Louisiana/New-Orleans/blog-280961.html Well spit on my spurs and shine them up boys we're in Fort Woth Texas YeeHa Wrap me in a Texas flag and burn it um I mean get'on little doggies We are in the land of the bush. Land of beef. Blondes and 10 gallon hats. Oil. Did I mention beef Things are definitely bigger and dear I say better in Texas. I know I am being really politically incorrect I sincerely do that to gain a giggl http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Texas/Fort-Worth/blog-280907.html Four days have gone by since my last blog. I last left you with images of 'Girls Gone Wild' in Georgetown DC. I am still not over the fact that I almost got into my first official brawl with a crazy black woman in a huge ass caddy but alas it is time to move on. Melanie and I meandered down I95 toward Savannah GA. Melanie had never been and from what I remember there were lots of beautiful http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Orlando/blog-280888.html So my summer road trip is off to a rather interesting start. So far Melanie and I have encountered gas for 4.35 a gallon stuckup people that would make Martha Stewart squirm traffic that I am sure sent a good 12 million people to therapy or jail rest stops that I know are the REAL cause for mad cow disease a condom kingdom a psycho killer's lair Philly cheese steak sandwich made with ch http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Fayetteville/blog-277476.html How can a trip that started out so great end so crazy I refuse to use the word BAD because Mel and I do seem to find the humor in most stuff and work through any rough patches. See Mel I are actually a lot alike in the sense that we are both sensitive worry excessively and fight like Italian cocks listen I can't stop saying that word blame Key West. However I beat Mel because I also hav http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Fort-Lauderdale/blog-251743.html There must be something about Key West. I can't seem to stay asleep It is 320am as I write this blog and I fell asleep around 1030pm woke up at 1230am. I am sure as I write this I will become tired and go back to bed. Mel is sleeping peacefully behind me Today was a very busy day We were out of the hotel room by 945am. I was happy because Mel was feeling better thanks to the antibioti http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Keys/Key-West/blog-249585.html Okay so automatically you are thinking I am a dirty pig. Maybe you are appalled at my subject line maybe intrigued Maybe both Allow me to explain.So begins day 2 in Key West FL a.k.a. paradise. The last time I wrote it was 5am and I was heading back to bed. A short 2 12 hours later I was up and ready to start the day. But how was Mel I had vague memories of a sleep walking Mel climbing i http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Keys/Key-West/blog-249243.html I must've been so excited I was in Florida that I woke up at 652am this morning. You might think I would've been exhausted since I went to bed around 330am but the truth is I was rejuvenated and eager to get a move on it. Our hotel room at The Renaissance Marriott hotel in Fort LauderdalePlantation was so nice and comfortable that 3 hours sleep on the bed felt like 7 Mel got up soon after. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Keys/Key-West/blog-248884.html Wow day one of our escape to Florida and already so much has happened. Prior to arriving here in gorgeous Fort Lauderdale there had been lesbian drama a mad rush to fix my disheveled hair word that Annabelle the Cow from Jockrsquos Farm Where Mel's horse shacks up was sold to the milk factory the cleansing of the deadly cat litter the realization that Melanie has an otherworldly head c http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Fort-Lauderdale/blog-248607.html Hey everyone I have been missing in action this past year LOL A lot has been going on.

It was a peaceful 3 12 hour smooth flight via Jet Blue the best airline in the world Anyway where do I begin Hmm....Oh my....Texas....Texas....Texas....Texaaaaaaaaaas. Yeehayikes. When you are in Amarillo you don't really feel like you are IN TEXAS. Sure the drive through t http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Texas/Austin/blog-70840.html Howdy from Nashville Let me start by saying that air conditioning is an imperative part of life when it is hot out period. Air conditioning does just that.....conditions people to not be purple smurfs it keeps people calm cool and collected. In the south it isn't just HOTit is gosh tootin doggoneit slap me silly holy blessed crapHOT The humidity is a natural diuretic.....if you http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Tennessee/Nashville/blog-10617.html Did you know that even if it's HOT outside and you get stuck in a rainstorm without an umbrella you could still catch a cold I didn't. I figured it would be refreshing....a break from the heat....nice and cool. It was cool al' right...it was downright COLD My throat is scratchy. April's throat is scratchy and I have been cold since 930pm yesterday evening However in some weird sort of way http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Tennessee/Nashville/blog-10799.html Yesterday May 3rd April and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. Yup 10 years I was 19 years old when I met April. She was my 2nd serious relationship. If someone would've told me that I would find someone I clicked with so much at such a young age....I would laugh and say YOUR CRAZY but low and behold that is what happened. April gets me. April and I share the same humor. April calms me http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Destin/blog-57101.html I have come to the conclusion that it is next to impossible to take a decent normal photo in a casino. I must've tried 1000 times to get some nice photos yesterday at the casino's we visited but for some reason I just couldn't get the camera setting's right. So I dedicate this blog to bad pictures and special effects LOL For each photo viewed you can be assured it was taken at least 10 d http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-66759.html
