This morning, I drove from Austin to Houston on open and empty roads, through small towns.
Saw some brilliant "only in Texas" signs
Stopped for a traditional ice cream at Dairy Queen (this was the smallest one!)
Listened to Texas talk-radio. Learned that we are living in "wicked times" and I can have a lap-band fitted for only $9999.99 (not clear if the two are connected!).
Spotted some hilarious road names.

Drove on hairier roads
Made it to the port - where things unravelled a bit... turns out MSC Alessia is still in Mexico, delayed in Customs. Ho hum.
Hence my overnight sojourn in the concrete backwaters of Houston Port in the finest hotel that my limited budget can buy!
Spot the lack of ocean outside my "cabin" window!
I love it when a plan comes together. Doh!
I hope NOT to be updating you tomorrow...no news really would be good news!
HAPPY TRAILS! (waves?)
ReplyDeleteYour adventure has already begun before boarding the ship....Love it!
ALSO love the DQ stop, and the exit signs gave me a much-needed chuckle on a Friday afternoon.
Gracias, y CUIDATE!!!! Can't wait to hear from you from the other side!
