October 21~27
Oct. 21 - We're very excited about arriving in New Orleans and it's just a short jaunt from Biloxi. The travel gods then decided to throw us a semi-scare. Nearing the city, we hit a patch of road that doesn't look too bad, but there is something about the configuration that causes us to "porpoise" for what seems an eternity.
Rick is doing a magnificent job of keeping us going straight, but he does have some white knuckles going on. I'm sitting in the banquette alongside the kitchen cabinets when the top cabinet flies open and all the china dishes come hurdling out, flying around my head and crashing in smithereens on the floor! No one got hurt, but scared the heck out of us!
We are so ready to arrive at a place I booked on the water that I thought was the best of the choices we had, plus it was really expensive, so it must be good right? Wrong!
We drive down a seamy road along what is supposed to be a marina. We arrive at Ponchartrain Landing RV Resort , ponchartrainlanding.com and yes, while we are on the water, we are looking at a demolished old factory. Pay for one night and jump in the car to look at another place I was looking at.

Book French Quarter RV Resort fqrv.com for the next five days. Location, location, location. It's only a few blocks from the Quarter, so it's very convenient, but it is also near a highway. But frankly, to us city people, we find it comforting. It's a constant buzz that we just don't notice. Sometimes all the quiet in the country freaks me out! It's not as expensive and we score a large spot with a very plesant screened gazebo -- site #33. There's also a nice pool/jacuzzi area and a media room with the biggest TV I've ever seen.
Sad to say, the real highlight was to find a Whole Foods! Did a huge shopping glad to be around familar surroundings....and they had the most extraordinary pumpkin display.
Tomorrow is Rick's birthday and though I'm not present ladden, since we have virtually no room to put anything new, I've got a few things up my sleeve I think he will enjoy.
