A FEW MORE DAYS OFF & A ROAD TRIP

Well, we thought we would be on the road Friday morning, but they were unable to find us a load, so with two days of layover pay, and not wanting to stay in French Camp, it was time for a road trip. Now most people I'm sure would think that driving on our off time would not be at the top of our list to do since driving is what we do every day. But we called and was able to obtain a rental car and hotel reservations, and by Friday evening we were on our way to Reno.
We had the most relaxing and enjoyable time in Reno. This was truly like a vacation to us. We even managed to gamble the entire weekend and still take home some extra money, as the slot machines were very good to us. I also managed to get my Starbucks fix as I hadn't had one of their coffees for over a month and a half. Oh the inhumanity of behing in rural Canada all those weeks without a Starbucks in sight!

We were given our assignment late Monday morning to go to Long Beach, California to pick up some containers to take to Gallup, New Mexico and then onto Pharr, Texas to get a load of boats. After six days off we were happy to be back on the road again!
