We arrived about noon and found Jim and Connie on the beach. It was nice and warm and we spent quite a bit of time walking, soaking it all in and collecting shells. Connie picked up a couple of really nice ones for me and I was carrying them around when I noticed a varmit coming out of one. YIKES!!!! I tossed that sucker back in the ocean where he belonged and he was probably glad to be home.
Then we got checked into our hotel and WOW!!! Casino's waste no money. It was a lot nicer than the Motel 6's we usually stay at. A LOT NICER!!!!!
After going to their room (which was even more elegant than ours) and partaking in some holiday spirits we ventured down to the Thanksgiving Buffet. Now talk about food. That was some spread. We ended up stuffed and full of wonder at the beautiful decorations and stores there in their Hotel. But...time to get some rest and so we headed back to our room.
The room was a gift from Connie and Jim and he couldn't get two rooms in the same hotel so we stayed about a mile from them but right on the beach.
Friday we just relaxed and had a nice lunch in a little town a ways from Biloxi. It was great food and then we went for a drive to find THE OLD SPANISH TRAIL FORT. We did find it but of course it was closed. The cemetary looked really interesting but since none of us wanted to climb the chain link fence we had to let that go too.
Back to their hotel and take a look at the fancy shops. WOW!!!! They were really neat and it was fun to look.
Time to get an afternoon nip for Connie and Ted. Jim went to check out the casino and we followed him later. He was in registering for the tournament when we caught up with him and he gave Ted a beer. They had free drinks so Connie and Ted got some more liquid to sustain them and we began to find things that were funny. After Jim got registered we went to get some food to go with the juice( :) ) and two ladies were coming out as we were going in. I happened to notice they both had on black and white checkered herringbone hats and scarfs to match. For some reason that hit my funny bone. But what was funnier was one of them could hardly walk and she almost lost her balance completely when she saw me. I couldn't be THAT scary now. Giggles did follow and the evening took on a happy atmosphere.
After we ate we decided it was time to head back to our room. Connie made us promise to call as we were both still giggling. Even had the security guard laughing.
We had no trouble finding the hotel OR our room and fell into bed for a good 8 to 10 hour sleep.
Yesterday we got ready to go over to their hotel and watch Jim in the tournament and we couldn't find our truck. That just struck me funny as anything that had happened. Jim and Connie both had a good laugh over that.
It was a good week-end, even though we are NOT gamblers and sorry but we didn't give them one of our hard earned pennies. Just not in our blood.
Had a good time with Jim and Connie and came home feeling good and rested and ready to take on our last two weeks of work here at Sager Brown.
Three shipments going out this week. I guess at least two going to Sudan so there will be more on those later.
