Since I grew up in Biloxi, Ms. and all my family still live there, I thought I would post some before and after pics of Hurricane Katrina's devastation...Everything I grew up with and loved is now gone, including my childhood home and the homes of much of my family...We had to move away because there's not much left.

Adventures in business travel

The East Coast

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I was on Kesseler AFB when hurricane Katrina hit, well it kinda interupted my training.  Feb 06 I find out I get to go back to Biloxi :) I have to admit I love Biloxi, there is actually tons of things to do, from Mardi Gras parades to Ship Island body boarding, to CASINOS.  And in case anyone wants to know the best at the time was the Beau Rivage, but I hear the Hard Rock Casino is even better now.  The point is Biloxi is a fun place to pick up...

Getting ready to teach English in China for a year.

For the most part, with Biloxi having the bulk of the casinos, things are returning to normal much faster than they are in other communities along the Mississippi coast.   Biloxi has been able to get it's casino tax income back on line so they can start building other areas as well. The Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi is really fantastic both inside and out. The Imperial Palace, while just as nice, was not quite as opulent as The Beau. 

16-30 April 2008 Roadtrip from Colorado Springs to Florida and back again.

I'm writing this blog for my travels and the places I've lived for more than 25 years.

Although many areas are still devastated from the Hurricane, I had a phenomenal trip through New Orleans, Biloxi, back over to Cajun Country (Lafayette and environs) in 2007. One should get a stamp in thier passport for this unique microculture. Great food Great people and Great scenery!

While in New Orleans, my friends and I took a road trip over to Pensacola, FL.

We spent the last Day of Disney at Epcot. We had Lunch with the princesses, for our littlest. It was really nice & $$$. Then it was time to head back home. There seemed to be no rooms all through Alabama & Mississipi.....so we found a yucky, over priced one out side of Biloxi. And spent what was left of the night there.
