Why is every paddlewheeler or riverboat named, "Delta Queen?"
We saw a sign for a racetrack, so I googled it to find out if they were open tonight. Their website advertises "simulated" racing. Sounds like OTB with screens to me.
I am amazed at the things I have learned on this adventure. I am so ready for Who Wants to be a Millionaire!
A few of our blog followers have expressed interest in taking a similar trip. If you do so, a few hints are:
1. Be sure you have a full tank of gas any day your are traveling far. I may have said this before, but just in case.
2. Bring several rolls of quarters for laundry Some hotels have a guest laundry, but not all. We have found them from free to $2 per load. No rhyme or reason.
3. I brought a dozen AA batteries for our camera on this trip......and I purchased at least another dozen along the way. If you are as camera crazy as my husband, bring more batteries.
4. If you like Walmarts, you will find them everywhere. They all seemed the same to us and all sold wine until we got to Kentucky. State law prohibits it.
5. Hampton Inns are great. If you make the most of the hotel free breakfasts, you can eliminate lunches. The hotels provide coffee, apples and cookies each day. We take 2 apples for a snack as we head out for the day.
6. Homewood Suites offer supper Mondays through Thursdays. Nothing fancy, but all you want. The month of menus is posted in your suite.
7. Pack your sense of humor!
