HERE WE ARE SAFE AND SOUND IN PARADISE.

Last time I blogged, we had stopped in Kansas City, Kansas for the night.  The next morning we were headed off across Kansas, which we thought we did, but I made the mistake of putting of end goal of Denton Texas into our GPS and "Gladys" (our name for our GPS) made a beeline for Denton , taking us off the interstate and into every small town and onto every two lane highway on that potential Beeline.  So, we had to do some map navigating to get us back on I 35.  Lesson learned!  Don’t give Gladys a destination, that is too far up the road, as she likes to cut corners. So, once back on track, we hooked up with I 35 in Wichita and 

 

down on into Oklahoma and on into Texas as planned.  

We made it to Denton, with no problems.  

The only problems we had, were with the motel we stayed at.  It is being crossed off our list.  Lousy Internet (what good is free if it doesn't work) and no hot water for my Tea in the morning, so they are DONE.  Some day I will do a Blog about how I feel the tea drinkers in North America are discriminated against.  If you don't drink coffee, you don't matter! 

We got up Thursday morning and pushed on through all the way down through Texas, from top to bottom.  As usual  all kinds of construction along the way.  It started just south of Fort Worth and never completely ended until south of San Antonio.  

And all day long, we went through bright sunshine, then cloud bursts, of torrential down pours. 

Each down pour lasting 5 to 10 minutes, then a sudden stop and back to bright sunshine.  

I am always so happy to start seeing the Palm trees along the road side as it means we are getting  close to Paradise Park.   We finally arrived here safe and sound around 4:00 pm.  

We have spent the entire day today, trying to get our systems all up and running.  No problems with the trailer, just the technical stuff.  Internet, TV and telephone.  It seems Time Warner is no more, and now they are calling themselves Spectrum.  They have to replace all the modems and TV boxes etc.  This started at 9:00 am and it's 6:30 pm and I just got my Internet working (fingers crossed) and we are still waiting for the TV and Telephone.  

So that is my update for now.  

IT'S HOT!  HOT!  HOT!  DOWN HERE.
