BOA Week Seven

Monday’s drive began with a trailer issue, the assist brake on the truck locked up the trailer and we were dragging it until we had to turn off the brake assist and slowly reset it…probably due to all the rain and dampness that morning with the dense fog. The truck is starting to shake between 58 and 61, our sweet spot, so now we keep checking things that might be causing it. We checked all tires and they were a bit off, but the roads were so bad we couldn’t tell if it fixed it.

We have been bopping back and forth from time zones that we have no frigging idea anymore what time it is anymore, and our natural time clocks are all messed up, and now daylight savings time.

Drury Inn in Meridian, Mississippi  This was our first time at this chain and is was awesome. Great parking, comfortable bed, clean spacious room. Unfortunately their cable went out all night, but luckily we had our backup for watching our weekly programming. Breakfast was divine, served on real plates and a good variety.


Logan’s Steakhouse was located right next to the hotel, so we walked over and had a marvelous meal.

We began with Margaritas, after all it’s my birthday week...mine was fruity with sugar on the rim and oh so yummy...


Our appetizer was deep fried bacon with brown sugar and was amazing...


Our main course had steaks, shrimp, and all the great fixings...




Tuesday’s drive took us on a detour through this terrible terrible neighborhood off of Interstate 20 in Jackson, Mississippi and some terribly rough roads.

Margaritaville Casino Resort In Bossier City, Louisiana Not our first time here and they really made us feel special on my birthday. Fun times, great customer service, last time we tried to get an early check in, but they were not willing to cooperate, but this time they went out of their way to make it happen. The bed was comfy, the walk in shower was great except the shower caddy needed some attention. 




Wednesday drive was not much better it actually was worse the weather was torrential rainfall, I don’t think we’ve ever seen that kind of rain coming from the skies so heavily at one time luckily we were not on an interstate but instead chose to take the back roads this trip and never regretted it.      

Comfort Inn in San Antonio, Texas  This was our event hotel so we were there for a few days. The room was very spacious, the bed was comfortable, and we had all the amenities we needed, fridge, microwave, couch, an additional chair and a great shower head. Check in was not great, the one thing I do not agree with is answering the phone while a guest is at the desk and then spending more than 20 minutes on that call while I wait, customer service was great otherwise.





The event was challenging, as we knew it would be…not only because it’s a Super which makes it super busy, but because this is one of those events that the helpers all think they run the show and nothing is ever done about it. Our booth was calmer because I always let my helpers know that we are in charge and if they don’t like it they can go on the chaos side, they all chose to stay at the “Zen” booth. The other team had a health scare the second day towards the end and went to the hospital, which put more responsibility on us, so we are definitely ready for our vacation.
