Counting Down The Days

As of today we have 54 days, 8 hours and 57 minutes until our flight leaves for Houston then onto to Sugar Land Texas to start our Road Trip across the Southern States.

I am looking forward to seeing my second cousin who I have only met through email, Facebook and a couple of conversations over the phone!  Her and I have worked on our family tree together for a few years now.  Anyways back to our plans!

We will be starting our road trip from Houston heading for New Orleans with an over night stop in Donaldsonville Lousianna.  The next morning we are taking the Old River Road to New Orleans visiting two or three plantations along the way to New Orleans.  We want to stop at Laura Plantaion, Whitney Plantation and St. Joseph's plantations!  We'll have three days in New Orleans, staying in the French Quarter.  Three days won't be enough to see and do all the things we want to but we'll have a great time never the less.  

From New Orleans we'll make our war to the birth place of Elvis Presley, Tupelo Mississippi.  We'll be staying with our daughter's husbands Aunt & Uncle.  Bonus is there is a small Elvis museum and sights to see from his first few years of his life.  Tupelo is not too far from Memphis Tennessee so a trip to Gracland is in order while that close.

After our visit in Tupelo we're heading back to Sugar Land Texas to the last part of our Road Trip!  On our way back to Houston we're planning a day/night in West Monroe Lousianna. Touring around there, visiting Duck Dynasty.  Who knows maybe we'll see Willie, Jase, Uncle Si and who knows maybe even Phil & Miss Kay.  

Once back in Sugar Land we'll spend the duration of our stay with my cousin and her husband.  You could say we'll have gone full circle on our trip!  

54 days till lift off but who's counting!!!
