He told some stories that had me laughing so hard I cried :-) Michael saw us as we were pulling into Lambert's Cafe and blew his horn and waved when he saw the LSU Tiger on the back of the LilTruk, but we did not see him.

Driving Home – Wed & Thurs – March 21th & 22nd The vacation officially is ending with a 2-day drive back home. We had a last breakfast with a few of the early risers in the Embassy Suites (eggs to order, omelets, fruit, juice, milk/tea, etc). We had virtually everything packed the night before, and we put the final few things in the last bag Wednesday morning. We were able to get a luggage trolley and took all the bags down to the car, got everything loaded, and on the road by 8:15. It was a little disappointing to see the end of our vacation, but we are eager to get back home. The drive was fine on Wednesday with good weather and no problems with traffic. The entire route is basically interstate highways, ... read more
