As for the Florida plates heading north... you're going the wrong way! I'm glad you and Gabe had a nice visit with his Mom and Dad. Next stop... Florida! Linda, I can't believe the summer is over.

Gregory gave him a lifetime upgrade BUT there was no mention that any map outside the US would be deleted.Took a few days to get that straighten out. As soon as I saw the stairs I knew there would be an issue.Carol, if I went inside with him I would of sew the stairs IN the building and there wouldn't have been all the drama. As far as the cemetery as least there weren't any poop Nazi's! God forbid if the dog poops on anyones property- I kept a poop bag from the dog park, if he went on someone's lawn I would take out the bag- did I use it? Only people who really know me know that answer.<br /><br />Plattsburg was nice- would of liked to snoop around but you know- gotta get on the road! The park was kinda weird. Signs all around - no smoking. The park benches were bolted down.<br /><br />Their place is perfect for them- kitchen is so small but she never liked to cook so no problem with that. The grocery store- OMG I keep thinking off the good stuff I didn't get.<br /><br />It was COLD up there! Low 40's and 30's at night. Florida weather sounds good to me.<br /><br />Yeah- one more to go. No roach motel this time ( I hope)<br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628413352470601979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415761398038279384.post-89419490901399741772014-09-21T14:05:59.729-04:002014-09-21T14:05:59.729-04:00Ugh, I can remember when we used to drive to Flori...Ugh, I can remember when we used to drive to Florida to visit my brother, we would stay in those flea bag motels. One time I was just about ready to sleep in the car...I always check for bedbugs also. Yep, we get a van and then a little van for the dogs.myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17287732100486026839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415761398038279384.post-21703569891512790272014-09-21T13:11:13.711-04:002014-09-21T13:11:13.711-04:00Hoo boy what a start you had-why do these companie...Hoo boy what a start you had-why do these companies do this when you upgrade their stuff? Glad you could get another one. Good grief-then the hotel and the rickety stairs? Yeah they should have told you they have an inside stairway. Glad the room was quiet but it must have been downright creepy walking Max in a cemetery!<br /><br />LOVED your photos. My ex-father in law used to go to Plattsburg all the time for work. That monument is beautiful-the eagle looks so real atop it.<br /><br />Gabe's parents have a nice little apartment huh? And I can only imagine how much torture it was for you in those amazing grocery stores and you couldn't bring much home......RATS! I'd be scoping out the grocery stores too.....I'd rather food shop than other shopping.<br /><br />I missed you while you were gone! Looks like you had nice weather-the sky in the Plattsburg photos is so crystal blue.<br /><br />One trip down, the big one south ahead........Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14450341018575312211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415761398038279384.post-10369671219563972372014-09-21T12:07:00.732-04:002014-09-21T12:07:00.732-04:00Myra- when we pulled up I though- bed bugs!

If I saw any droppings I was out of there asap!<br /><br />He won't get a van. I spot them on the road and say how nice they but that's as far as it goes. Gabe doesn't like to travel. He's happy going in his caves and on the boat.<br /><br />Glad you liked the photos- I didn't get to take many. We were either on the road or at his mother's place.<br /><br />Maybe we should buy a van together and travel?

Too bad about the hotel. You just never know what you are going to find. You should really look into the travel van. At least you have your Florida home, so this is a good thing. Thanks for this wonderful blog. I saw the pictures and they are great. You take great pictures.myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17287732100486026839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415761398038279384.post-49526865887824640452014-09-21T08:16:33.167-04:002014-09-21T08:16:33.167-04:00When we went to St. Hubert's I asked the waitr...When we went to St. Hubert's I asked the waitress to take a photo of all of us. I have a 35 mm digital and she just couldn't get it right. She was so nice and I didn't want to embarrass her so I told her it was ok.<br /><br />I've been after Gabe for YEARS to get a Travel Van- he won't get one. Gregory even told him it was a good idea for us to travel but he's SO stubborn so we end up in places like the above. <br /><br />At least when we travel to Florida it's one night in a motel and we stay in the same one one the way down which is nice- coming back is a pain.<br /><br />Have fun on your trip!<br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628413352470601979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415761398038279384.post-44161535666452607052014-09-21T07:26:28.399-04:002014-09-21T07:26:28.399-04:00I so enjoyed your pictures......just one thing wro...I so enjoyed your pictures......just one thing wrong....I didn't see you in a one of them.
