Well boys and girls, I have just arrived home from my last road trip. I go back to work tomorrow and I’m not quite sure how I feel about that. Spending the next three months or more in the office day in and day out. I know that’s what I’ve been wanting, but I realized something. While I’m not going to miss airports and finding hotel rooms and rental cars, I am going to miss the people I’ve worked with over the years, and the new people I meet in every store. I’m going to miss the freedom of the road.

In regards to the rest of my last trip (the New Orleans trip)… I must say that I never slept better while I was there. The bed in that hotel was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. I wish I could have packed it up and brought it home with me. By comparison, my bed is like a brick. Despite losing my cell phone, I had a lot of fun down there in New Orleans. The last day was beautiful, bright and sunny, perfect temperature… and the last ride over the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway was beautiful. I always enjoy spending time with my best customers. As always, I made a few new friends at the corporate level and had a good time getting a new site opened up for so many people who were getting tired of the same old thing and needed someplace else to go. Of course, I also made some special local friends down there; Krystel, Amanda, Jayme, thanks, you gals rock.

I also finally got to see some of the major devestation down there. WOW, what a difference a few miles makes. There was one county parish down there where practically everything was completely levelled. I also got to ride through Slidell, where a lot of news crews were broadcasting from and the flood damage there was astonishing. I had opened this customers first store there, and a lot of what I remembered was totally destroyed by flood waters.

So, that brings an end to the road trips… no more Redeyes and Rearview Mirrors… it’s time to move on to the next phase of my life… Let’s see where it takes me!
