MASS Exodus - End of Day 7: Getting Ready to Party

It has been difficult to post the last few days-I have a cold, Internet time has been sketchy. I am going to try and catch up today, so bear with me with 2 or 3 posts...

We left NC, traveled down I-95 to Jacksonville FL, hung a right turn onto I-10 headed west. We arrived in Biloxi MS, to warm, gentle ocean breezes, miles of white beaches and the neon and noise associated with casinos. Yes, Biloxi is the Foxwoods of the south, with no less than 9 of them, clustered at the beginning of the beach. We bypassed this, drove the beachfront ate a and watched a nice sunset over the Gulf. On a recommendation of the motel manager, we went to a local seafood place called White Caps. We were not disappointed! It was a local hang out with excellent food and a bit of atmosphere. I had shrimp gumbo to die for and blackened scallops with a local cream sauce that was put of this's world. Our waitress was friendly ( what a surprise) and we just enjoyed the atmosphere for a while. This left us ready to tackle the phenomena called New Orleans.

At the end of this day, We are now at 1990 miles,  which is just over 61%  of the way, we have been in  10 states...
