Third day on the road

We had an early start this morning but it was terrible weather for driving. A lot of rain and wet roads with lots of trucks making a large spray. We stopped several times, for gas, coffee and other breaks. The weather improved a bit in the late afternoon and we made it to about 2 hours north of Laredo. We will travel into Mexico tomorrow. Paul did most of the driving today but Wendy did about 2 1/2 hours again.
Thanks goodness for a GPS which gets us on the right roads around cities like Dallas and through cities like San Antonio.
We found a new Best Western Hotel this evening with a very good BBQ Restaurant right next to it, so we enjoyed that.

We are well are on our way.

We left at 8 a.m. yesterday and arrived at Fishers, Indiana about 5:45 p.m. after spending a long time in a line-up for U.S Customs and then a longer time in Passport Control with Paul's UK Passport. His Canadian ones runs out in January and he thought it best to go in and out of the U.S. on the same passport. He had been pre-approved for a U.S. Visa but they didn't recognize that at the border crossing. We also encountered some traffic due to construction along the way. The weather was indy and rainy at times. Paul did most of the driving but Wendy drove the last 2 1/2hours. However we had a great dinner and evening at Wendy's cousin Janet's, stayed the night there and left about 8:45 this morning.
We put in another long day today and arrived in Little Rock Arkansas about 5:30 this evening. We made a few stops for coffee and at Welcome Centres along the way. The weather was beautiful all day and it gradually got warmer and ws 21C. degrees when we arrived here. Tomorrow we hope to get to Laredo Texas.

We are just about ready to go.

The car is almost packed and we plan to leave early tomorrow morning. We had started a new blog but somehow it was lost so we are continuing with last year's. The most recent posts will always be at the top.
Tomorrow we plan to get to Fishers Indiana, just east of Indianapolis where we will visit with Wendy's cousin Jan and her husband. It is the only time we get to see them so we really enjoy this visit along the way.
