Leaving Florida and Heading Back To Texas

Hi,

It was now December 26th and I was making my way back to Texas. I said so long to John....I enjoyed my stay very much- Thank you. I left about 10:00 a.m. and traveled until about 11 p.m. that night. I ran into a very bad t-storm earlier that evening in Mississippi. I stopped and had dinner, at that time, to avoid the bad driving conditions. Then when the rain let up I continued until I got to Louisiana. I stop at a rest area and took a nap. Around 3 a.m. I started back out on I-10. I made it to San Antonio by 9 a.m. I stayed at a local motel for the remainder of that day and night- getting some much needed rest.

The next morning I headed north on I-35 to Nolanville. This is located near Killeen. This is where Tommy was now staying. He had called me the day before when he heard I was back in Texas. (We didn't get to visit very long after his arrival back home from Iraq, and he asked if we could get together for a bit.) So..... instead of heading straight to San Angelo (my intended next stop) I was going north again!! LOL I arrived in Nolansville around 1p.m. I was introduced to Tommy's friends and then we were off to do some shopping and getting a bite to eat. My visit with Tommy was great. We really had a nice time....lots of laughing, and catching up. After a good nights sleep, I packed up the SUV, went out to lunch with Tommy, then headed west to my next stop San Angelo.

The drive to San Angelo was nice. I had beautiful weather and there wasn't much traffic on the route I took. The only problem I ran into is that I hit an area that had no phone service (for about 1 hour). This is only the 2nd time since I've started my travels that this has happened...so I very fortunate...I have a good cell phone provider!!

I arrived in San Angelo on December 29th about 5:30 p.m. I will be here for about 3 - 4 weeks visiting with my friend Jullie and checking out the area. So until next time- take care everyone and be safe!! - Love Donna
