01-01-10: Trip to Texarkana.....

We managed somehow to get away by 8:30 this morning. I had to pull out with a tail light out.......had no bulb, not time to find one, and most stores closed in the area. Sooooo, each time I had to brake or pull into a right lane, I did so with great caution!!!

A quick fuel stop south of Newport, AR......where we also made a sandwich....and then back on the road again. We arrived at an fairly new RV Park just a couple of miles east of Texarkana, AR about 4pm.......and before long, we had been escorted to our rv site.....and began the task of setting up. I decide, after listening to the weather/temp forecast tonight that I would not hook up to water or the sewer dump. After getting unhooked, we went to Flying J about a quarter of mile up the frontage road.......filled the tank again....and then found the light bulb I needed for the rear right light on the RV. Returned to the rv park....installed the light bulb...and voila...I now have both tail lights on the RV working 100%.

I must say....the rest room facilities, which we do not normally use at rv parks since we carry our own restroom and shower facilities, .....these restrooms are immaculate!!!!!! Brand new...heated....and beautiful. THE very best that I have ever seen in any rv park/campground....bar none!!!!! WONDERFUL!!!!!

Watched some TV......the wifi here is horrible......either too many using it, or just not good...period. Using my iPhone on 3GS is much, much better than the wifi here!!!! Sooo, I am not sure this will get posted tonight.

We are going on either to San Marcos or on down to San Antonio tomorrow, depending on the time we arrive in the San Marcos area. Would like to check out...again...their wonderful outlet mall there, but might go on to San Antonio just so we can be an hour closer to the Valley for our final day of traveling.

And sooooo, as always....even with a very chilly evening here...29 degrees.....

LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!(HAVE A GREAT YEAR!)
