Spent the day exploring San Antonio. Went to the site of the Alamo. Spent a lot of time there reading all the info. It was very interresting to both of us. Then we walked several blocks to the Buckhorn Taveren. The picture of the bar is the Buckhorn. They have a muesum there of Texas history and more mounted animals than you can imagine. There are animals and fish from all over the world hanging on the walls. After the taveren we headed for the River Walk. The place has all kinds of places to eat and spend your money. It's pretty but not our cup of tea. We walked around there for a little while, took a few pictures, then headed for the car. I think we walked around for 7 hours but didn't walk all that far, just on our feet a long time. The most expensive thing we did all day was pay for the parking garage. lol I didn't look to see what they charged for it when we went in, cost $18.00 to get out. When we left I looked around and found a place we could have parked for about half that. O well, I'll know better tomorrow. We will go to the Mission National Park tomorrow, not sure what else.

That's it for now

San Antonio

We are in San Antonio tonight. We are going to town tomorrow to look around. Plan to do the Alamo, the Missions, and a couple of muesums in the next few days. Hope to get some good pictures to post. We had planned to get here early today but got held up in Katy, TX. Had one of the tire air sensors go out and stopped at Campers World to get it replaced. Took it in at 8 am, got it back at 2pm, then drove 180 miles to San Antonio. Oh well, no hurry anyway, I'm retired you know. LOL We are going to stay here at least 3 days. There is a rodeo in town, plan to try and get tickets to that.

Till next time

Livingston, Tx

Hello everyone. We are in Livingston, TX now, leaving in the morning toward San Antonio. We will be spending 3 or 4 days there before moving on west. We spent the day geocaching in this area. Found 6 out of 7 we went for. The seventh one we chose not to go for because the park where it was at cost to enter and it was getting late in the day. Didn't know if we would have time to find it before dark, so headed back to the rv. The campground we are in has some kind of activity every evening. Tonight was ice cream, so we had to go to that, darn...lol.... We met a couple from Alaska and got a bunch of tips about our trip up that way. They are going to email us a list of things that they think are a don't miss it. We went to a bon fire last night and enjoyed our chat with other rvers. Would stay here longer but still looking for warmer weather. Been nice in the day time but real cool at night.

Till next time

Back on dry land

We are back on dry land once agan. In Celina, Tx till Wensday then over to Kilgore, Tx for a coupe of days before heading south. The weather on the criuse was perfect, 70's at night, low 80's during the day. We had a great time visiting with our friends that went with was. Went to Mexico, Grand Cayman, and Ohco Rios. Louise loved the snorkel time she had at Ohco Rios. We had a hard time getting her out of the water when it was time to leave. As for me, I ate way to much. All my pants must have shrunk while on the trip. lol I guess I had better get back on the ole diet.

When we leave Kilgore we will head to Livingston, Tx to the Escapees park for a few days. After that we have no set plans for a while. All I know is we will be going to Big Bend National Park, then on to Califorina. No time table set for that. I will set up the Alaska ferry part of the trip sometime this week. That will put us on a time frame for that part. That will be in June. Till then we plan to wonder a bit to see what we can see.

Till the next time

Going on the cruise

We leave tomorrow morning for our cruise to the Western Caribbean. We will visit Costa Maya, Mexico, Grand Cayman, and Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The cruise is 7 days returning Sunday a week. After that I have an eye doctor appointment, then the TRIP begins. We'll be leaving on the trip to California and then on to Alaska. I won't be posting anymore till we get back from the cruise. Hope we don't get to sunburnt. lol It is suppose to get cold in Dallas next week, good timing huh. It is suppose to start warming up the weekend we get back. Hope the weatherman isn't kidding to us. Louise went to doctor today and was told she could take off the funny shoe!! Just in time. Her foot is healing fine. She was told not to do any rock climbing for a while yet but walks on the beach was ok.

Till we return from the beach
