I checked out the place online and it seemed decent. Had a shrimp cocktail as appetizer. Ordered the grilled salmon with a cucumber dill relish sauce. I thought that sounded interesting. I wasn&#8217;t sure if I was going to have dessert, but you have to look at least at the menu. :-) Saw chocolate mousse and I couldn&#8217;t pass on that one. It was yummy. I&#8217;m really curious to see how many pounds I gained in those 2 weeks. Not that you could see it, but I don&#8217;t eat all these meals when I&#8217;m at home.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow (or today depending on when you read that) the destination will be HOME. Yeah. I&#8217;m actually pretty excited. Finally to be able to sleep in your own bed again. This checking in and out of hotels every day gets old after a while. Going out to dinner every day gets boring. It&#8217;s fun to be able to make your own meal again. Not that I&#8217;m complaining. It was an absolutely fantastic adventure. I don&#8217;t remember when I laughed so much the last time. All these little funny things which happened they were amazing. Probably should start reading from Day 1 again as I&#8217;m sure I already forgot a lot of things. No this won&#8217;t be the last blog entry. You&#8217;ll hear more from me on the last day of the drive.<\/p>\n<p>The plan is to take some back roads from the I-40 down to the I-10 after going into CA. I should be back on the I-10 at Dessert Center, CA. I expect cell phone service to be extremely spotty or non-existent on those less traveled roads. But they are fun roads.<\/p>\n<p>My hilarious check-in story has to wait. I&#8217;m a bit too tired to tell it right now.<\/p>\n<p>Oh in case anyone is interested in absolutely unnecessary news. Here you go: I shaved! I couldn&#8217;t stand the thousands of little ants crawling all over my face anymore. Now I have smooth baby skin again. See? I said unnecessary news.
