Spring Training 2023 - Day 70

 We left Pensacola around 9:00 am this morning. That is a fairly early start for us today even with dealing with our modified travel arrangements to facilitate Judy's travel requirements.

After a stop at Buc-ee's down the road for gas and supplies we continued West on I-10.  Buc-ee's is a major regional travel center (no trucks).  It has about 80-120 gas pumps, all kinds of take-out food, a bakery and sandwiches from brisket to pulled pork and all kinds of freshly made breakfast sandwiches in the morning.  It also has a gift shop like a Cracker Barrel gift shop on steroids.  It is always crowded and a must stop every time you find one.  It is an interesting business and a true oasis for the Interstate traveler.

Judy had a pretty good travel day, on motion pills, she slept a lot on the sofa just behind the RV cab.  We made good time despite heavy traffic in Mobile and Baton Rouge and arrived at our destination RV park in Breaux Bridge, LA around 3:00 pm.  Actually, travelled through 4 states today (FL, AL, MS and LA).

We have stayed here before most recently on our trip East.  It has been rebranded as Camp Margaritaville RV Resort.  It is a large destination resort with lots of things to do for families and others.  Right now, the park is virtually empty. It is after the snowbirds have left, spring break is over and summer vacations have not yet started.

We are planning on staying here two nights. We have several two-night stops planned on the way home along with relatively short daily drives.  This will help facilitate the travel impacts on Judy and help her full recovery.  She is making progress, but it is going to take time to fully regain her strength and mobility.  Her spirits are good and she is doing her daily PT exercises as she can while in the RV

Our next stop on Wednesday is just East of Houston.
