11:50 AM = Checked out. Had a big breakfast and took 2 bananas, 1 apple and 2 egg sandwiches to go from the free breakfast bar -- that'll be lunch today, dinner will be Denny's -- only place that's open on "Mele Kellikimaka Day"
I just put on the Roadtrips CD. "The Boys of Summer" on #1. Today its off to San Antonio -- first time I made a reservation -- at a motel that's 0.1 mile from the Riverwalk and Alamo (closed today). Today is also the first day on an interstate freeway since leaving Las Cruces on Monday!
2167.6 trip miles
20254 total
70 F
80% Oil life
45% fuel
$19 = 11.452 Gallons -- Filled up on gas in town, who knows where the next open gas station will be! (2167.8 miles)
12:01/2169.3 = Joined Good Ole I-10 East at m258, just as the song "Here I go again on my own, goin' down the only road I've ever known" came on the CD... I know this road.
WOW the speed limit is 80 in the daytime! This'll be good!
12:06//2177.0 = San Antonio is 306 miles from here
12:23/2199.1 = Passed exit for Ligon Road, but since that's not spelled with a Y, I'm not in Melbourne.
12:27/2205.3 = Passed x294 for Bakersfield but I know I'm not in California
12:5 /2247. = Passed x337 for Live Oak Rd.... HA! AS IF THERE ARE ANY LIVE OAKS HERE!
4:02/2478.0 = I-35 North (I-10x570)
4:03/2479.6 = I-37 South (I-35x158)
4:11/2485.1 = After a wrong turn that put me back on I-37 North, came back and checked in @ Comfort Suites Alamo.
Walked to Alamo and Riverwalk -- Riverwalk had all the Christmas lights everywhere so it was nice, but all very touristy like Las Vegas -- and crowded, but I guess I better get used to the crowds!
