Eeeek! Got the maps. Now I'm really gettin' 'cited!!!! Crawfish at Myron's--I can just taste it.

**kaybee** · 03-28-2009, 10:15 AM

Yep, maps came this morning. I guess that means it's really getting close! Susan and Tulip, I'll look for you on my RIGHT SIDE facing the announcer. I'll have my black Ruby and will be with a tall guy with a mustache and great legs riding a red Giant (DH).

We will be hoteling it since we don't own camping gear and for what Padre charges we can get hotel rooms with amenities.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the crawfish etouffe at Russell's in Arnaudville. Yum -- as good as mom's! Let's just hope the weather calms down in the next two weeks; they had tornadoes and flooding rains this week. See you there!

Whoo-hoo! My mail is in the mailbox but I haven't gotten it out yet--been working in the back yard all day. Mmmmm, crawfish etouffe...mmmmm.

To celebrate the upcoming event, I cooked the last two pounds of crawfish I had in the freezer last night. I had been saving them, trying to make them last until we could replenish on our next trip. It was so good!!!

Uhhhh--Kaybee, we may not notice you for looking at "a tall guy with a mustache and great legs riding a red Giant."

Anyone flying into New Orleans? Not riding, but I do live 10 minutes from the airport.

**tulip** · 03-30-2009, 05:54 AM

Nope, I'm driving from Virginia (a looooong drive) so I can make the rounds of family visits after the ride.

Flying into Lafayette and staying in New Iberia Wed. night with my dear friend. She has one of those wonderful song-like Cajun accents. I can't wait to see her. She'll pick me up in her "little" car and we'll go to her "little" town to her "little" house on her "little" street where we'll see her "little" husband. She's such a terrific and fun person.

Wow, Tulip, that is a long drive! We'll be driving from North Georgia and visiting family after. It's only about 10-1/2 hours and we've been doing it for 23 years so it's routine for us.

Susan, I love New Iberia, especially Main Street. The area around the library and The Shadows is so pretty. (Sigh, I'm homesick now.)

Have a safe trip down ladies. I'll be looking for you Thursday morning!

Yep, the first day will be to Montgomery (a long day) and then a shorter day into Lafayette. We haven't been on a road trip in a long time, so it will be fun, at least for the first couple of hours! I'm getting my car all worked on tomorrow so it'll be ready. Driving is just so much cheaper than flying and renting a car.

Should we exchange cell numbers? I'll pm y'all mine.

I just looked at Accuweather for Thurs., 4/16. Rain--but warm rain. It can certainly change, and I hope it does. It still can't dampen my excitement.

**Aint Doody** · 04-10-2009, 10:26 AM

Have y'all been watching the weather forecasts? It's crazy! It changes daily from rain to sun for all 4 days. I'm counting on the sunny days. I look at accuweather. Maybe I should try a different site. Won't be long now!!!!

**tulip** · 04-10-2009, 02:00 PM

Doody, I'm bringing the Bike Friday! Tonight I'm getting out my CZ folder and gonna start organizing my stuff. I'm really looking forward to this ride.

**Aint Doody** · 04-10-2009, 03:58 PM

OK! Bike Fridays are easy to spot. I've already shipped ahead my tent and all that stuff. I'm really getting excited, too. See you Thurs. morning!

Susan
