Pennsylvania to Florida to Louisiana

After some fun times in Pennsylvania, it was time to make the loooong trek all the way down the East coast. We made it through the hurricanes and finally got to Amanda's aunt's in Orlando, Florida. Here, we met:
Cat Dillon, Cat Damon, Cat Lauer, and Brad Kitt


Amanda spent the night with the kittens and her family while Betsy stayed in Port Charlotte with her grandparents.
The next day, after a very brutal game of dirty clubs at Aunt Betty's, the Road Trippers were reunited! The evening consisted of a nice dinner at the retirement community, swimming in the pool (first swim of the ENTIRE trip), and a friendly game of shuffleboard.
Which was fun, until one of us lost by approximately 68 points.


The next day we left for Baton Rouge, snagging the last few gallons of regular unleaded fuel in the state of Florida apparently, because after we left, they shut all the gas stations down. Due to the hurricane, 25% of the nations oil refineries had been shut down. Luckily, it didn't hinder our adventure too much. We drove on...

Thanks to our friends in the band Streamline, Mike Hogan and Jon Scholl, we had a place to stay the night.


We were also treated to a gourmet Emergency Meal dinner, courtesy of Chef Jon. Here you go, learn something new (Disclaimer: Jon Scholl has a potty mouth):


Delicious!!

We also conducted some totally slame interviews (super lame = SLAME):


After leaving Baton Rouge on Monday morning, we re-routed our trip to avoid Houston. We took I-40 instead of I-10, which took a few extra hours, but we were able to find gas pretty easily and didn't encounter any road closings. We finally made it to Albuquerque around 6am. To be continued...
