Beautiful and Scary

If there are storms here in Florida, the skies here can easily turn like the photo below. Pretty scary huh?

Our Road Trips

Hubby and I love to travel the backway which is the scenic route of Florida. The chance to see the farm lands of water melons, peanuts, oranges, horses, cows and goats are interesting. Of course, we are fascinated with the big houses along the country roads.Traveling on the scenic route will not cut the miles of our road trips. In fact, it will take us longer hours but, the beauty of the small towns are just fascinating and charming for us. As long as the sun is up, we love to explore places around Florida. We armed ourselves with a map when there is no signal and a GPS most of the time. Once in a while, we have road trips and we enjoyed it. When there are storms and heavy rain fall while we are traveling, we usually stopped in a gas station and let the storm pass by and we move on. By the time I have my license, we will explore the East Coast hopefully. From the East of Florida down to Miami and heading to the west of Florida, all the way to Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, we have been there. We saw the coastline and we are looking forward to see the coastline on the East Coast.

Happy Labor Day

What are you doing today? My husband and I decided we will just stay home, make a homebaked corn bread, ribs and watch a movie marathon on History Channel. It is a Federal Day today but, not everyone will have the chance to enjoy it because all the hotels and amusement businesses are open so; the workers have to work. I remember when I work in the casino, my employer requires us to work on holidays.

Happy Labor Day Everyone!

How about you? If you are in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, don't get wet. I know that storm LEE is still pouring rain. Celebrate the holiday safely everyone!

Bad Weather In Metaire

March 27, the sky is getting better in Louisiana. But, you still can see the dark clouds forming and it was 8:15 AM. I made my appointment 15 minutes earlier, after all the hassle of traveling from Mississippi to this place, I finished what I had to do in 15 minutes only. Wheww! If it would have been in Florida, the office building is just 3 minutes away from our house. The good outcome to this appointment would be the fast service, now, if it would have been in Orlando, I would be in the building for a couple of hours. This is memorable though, having to hurdle this bad weather on our trip was not a good idea. You can say how important this appointment was right?

This is the sky in the opposite direction, same time/same day. We stayed in Days In Hotel, yes that building, 58 seconds away and we choose to stay there just for this purpose. The night before was really horrible, a war zone of thunder and lightning. It feels scary but, we felt secure. The hotel was okay but, it caught us off guard because we arrived at 2PM Thursday and we can't check in until 4PM. I always made online reservations before and every time we arrived, we always get the room right away. Anyway, 2 hours was a long wait, so, we decided to go to the mall and eat late lunch.

The sky as we arrived in Metaire, Louisiana. This was the storm that has a tornado touch-down and hit Magee, Mississippi and a small town in New Orleans.
