I am writing from McAlester, OK tonight. We had a safe journey here today. Traffic was moderate and only got slowed down during road construction places. OK has a lot of road construction going on.
Got to the hotel without getting lost. The guy at the front desk recommended a sea food restaurant right next door. It was excellent. I think everyone enjoyed their choices.
We only made one stop on the way down at some turnpike rest area in Oklahoma. I am terrible with geography and have no idea where we were other than it was in OK. I filled the car up with gas and we used the bathrooms. It took us about five hours to get here today.
Tomorrow we are going to Jimmy’s Eggs for breakfast which is only about 1.5 miles from our hotel and then are heading to Antlers to view the eclipse. Our group is meeting at 8:30 to go to breakfast and then from there we will go to Antlers. It should only be about a one hour drive to our hostess place but I’m not sure about traffic. Totality isn’t until 1:45 so we will have plenty of time to get to her house before.
Sure hoping the traffic coming home is like the traffic going today. Not sure what to expect. Guess we will get home when we get home and will deal with what ever happens.
We had plenty of room in the back of the car for all the things we brought. We certainly won’t go hungry on this trip. We brought lunch to share with our hostess and her two other guests and lots of snacks.
Had a couple of Facebook messages when I could check them once we got here. Have two different people interested in the TV. Hoping one or the other will actually take it. Also have two people interested in the night stands. Sure would be nice to get rid of those things.
Feels good to get out of town for a bit and enjoy lots of great conversation and girl talk. I love these women and love having time with them.
Looking forward to tomorrow. I am so grateful we have a place to go to watch the eclipse that will be safe and out of traffic and crowds. Trusting the hostess and her guests will be fun and all will enjoy themselves.
Don’t forget to look up tomorrow and enjoy the eclipse from wherever you are. It will be a day of wonder for sure.
Grateful for a safe trip to McAlester, grateful for time with my friends, and grateful for a great dinner.
