Saturday, May 19, 2007 New Orleans to San Antonio

This is our farewell to New Orleans day. What better send-off than breakfast at Brennan’s… or so we thought! Our 9AM reservation had us seated promptly on a balcony overlooking a lovely courtyard. An HOUR AND A HALF later after sharing an andouille sausage omelet and bananas foster we went back to the hotel to meet our 11 o’clock check-out time. Now we were really on our way… or, again, so we thought. One large pothole later, the rearview camera and camper brakes were malfunctioning. We found a Radio Shack in Metairie and Mr. Fix-It Rog and some duct tape took care of the problems. It was now noon and, yes, we were truly headed west. By 9PM, a very tired, grumpy driver and his wife pulled into the Traveler’s World RV Park in San Antonio, Texas. Those sleeping bags looked very welcoming.
