Denise and Rick Cunningham

Like many boomers we're planning the "next chapter". We live a fairly chaotic life in Georgetown in Washington DC. I'm a former fashion executive and journalist. Rick's an engineer and computer scientist. We're about ready for a little change of pace. Travel... perhaps moving to warmer climes ...and definitely savoring more moments. We never set out to buy an RV...matter of fact, we had never even been in one and I definitely don't camp. But, now, with more time and a growing aversion to the insults of air travel, we bought a 40' motor coach. Our grandson, Ian, named it Gigantor. We call it Tor for short.

We're seeing things you just can't from the air and finding that we've so much to discover on this continent. In the past two years, we've taken three marvelous six-week trips. This time, we're "chasing the sun for as long as it fun". We left on October 5, 2009. We'll see how long we last!

We're searching for great places to stay, sights worth seeing, golf courses worth playing, great restaurants, shopping, farmer's markets. We're on the road in search of the high road.

Casino Stop-Over

October 28-29
Rick has decided he really is into only driving a couple of hours a day if we can.  So, on our way to Houston, we take detour to the Coushatta Casino (coushattacasinoresort.com)  in Kinder, LA.  It's in the middle of nowhere...a great place to decompress a little, get a little work done, play golf  with a little entertainment at the casino thrown in.

The weather is miserable with very high winds and driving rain.  We are very fortunate, though, this storm hit Shreveport and portions of Texas very hard. Golf was out again. 

We did make it to the casino once and this time we won at the craps table thanks to a very helpful man standing next to us who gave us a primer in how to play.

We also have a service come to fix a crack in the windshield, the product of a stone kicked up at us.  Not happy with the fix, but we'll see how it goes.
