The night before the big exit (2-13-11)

"You have to shoot. You are logical. You have to shoot." Yes, spending the night before my first day traveling watching the end of a star trek marathon. It's relaxing. I do not consider myself a good writer, but I want to keep everyone updated as to my whereabouts and misadventures as I travel West. So I have started myself a blog. I hope to make a blog entry once a day, but if I am unable to connect to the internet, I'll just post multiple days worth of updates when i get to a location that provides internet access. 

I am proud to say that I rechecked the flamingo website today and they had an additional deal with 25% off a stay of 4 nights. The good news is that my 4 nights in the Flamingo Hotel will now cost $147 with taxes and fees. The potential bad news is that the reviews on Expedia  have been slightly negative as to upkeep of the hotel. But for such a low price, it seems hard to go to wrong. I need to thank Mike Bielecki for helping me find such a great deal.

I hope to be out by 7 AM tomorrow morning (probably more like 8:30ish realistically ) and make it to Biloxi tomorrow evening.
