2010 ROAD TRIP


It’s our first time to embark on a long journey from home. Although there were attempts before to go on state hopping, yet, because of unrealistic assumptions we never pursued it.
True to our yearly tradition of celebrating Mom’s birthday away from home, although there was a strong hesitation to visit The Sesame Place, we finally conceded to ask Sienna to accompany us.
2010 Road Trip 1st Leg-Alabama 0066:30 – Departure from Gardenspring Ct. But with all the commotions last night, we forgot the printed copy of our hotel-destination in Alabama.
2010 Road Trip 1st Leg-Alabama 0088:30 – First stop in Louisiana…and proved to be the last one until we saw the next rest area 5 hours after we the one in Louisiana.
2010 Road Trip 1st Leg-Alabama 0336:00 – Second rest area…in Alabama. We feasted with Mom’s adobo and liempo. Not bad.
2010 Road Trip 1st Leg-Alabama 041Thanks to modern technologies of GPS and portable DVD, the first leg is just perfect. I was kidding Jaz that because of our 13 hour trip from Texas to Gadsden, Alabama, I can now claim to be a true driver capable of negotiating the Bitukang Manok” going to Bicol.
2010 Road Trip 1st Leg-Alabama 0558:30 – We reached our hotel, Comfort Suites, in Gadsden, Alabama; feasted with our adobo and liempo; desert is mango.
The hotel is not true to its name. Its not comforting to see trash in the elevator, stinky and uncleaned microwave.
Nevertheless, after a safe trip, that is the least of your worries.
Am now ready for bed, and beyond.

ADDICTED TO BAKE

 Couch is not the place for an older person like me to watch tv. It only takes a matter of minutes before I sleep. That was what happened to...
