Day 1

583 miles...Tampa through Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, to Slidell, Louisiana. Rain slowed the trip to an average 30 m.p.h. all the way through Alabama...but I did almost finish the Hunger Games (only 4 tributes left), although she is no J.K.Rowling....dinner at the Big Easy Diner in Slidell...I love old diners.... see the pix.
