Day One

Ready to go!

Deb dropped us at the airport in San Antonio at about 5:45am. Since we got Mom a wheelchair, we got to skip right through the long security line and board first. We barely had time for coffee and a muffin! The plane ride was good, only a little over 2 hours. Charlotte airport was okay, but I don't recommend Dollar Rent A Car -- very inefficient. We got a Dodge Avenger and decided to get a GPS also. We love that GPS! We call her "Camilla" cause she sounds British.

The drive from Charlotte took us 5 hours! Not because we stopped for lunch and then drinks, but because there weren't interstates on our route and the speed limit was usually 60MPH!!! It never was more than 65MPH! I felt like we were crawling! But the weather was good and the trees were pretty.

The resort is right on the beach and our rooms are very nice. We immediately went to the grocery store to get a few things and Mom is now preparing a recipe she got from Paula Deen. We are so tired and still have to unpack!

  1. Hello Karen and Doris, how lucky you are to be at the beach with (I hope) nice sunny weather. Here it's still wintertime and looking out of the window I can see snow! I can't remember having had such a long winter here in Laufen. So we still need wintercoat, scarf and gloves! I hate it. Have a good time and enjoy your springbreak. Love, Dominique
