Well, we made it to our destination - Austin, Texas. I thought we'd be able to pat ourselves on the back for getting out of South Florida with more hurricanes coming, but nooooo - the hurricanes are following us! Here's the current projected path for Rita as shown on www.weather.com



Now - Austin should be a reasonable place to be - we'll get rain and wind, but it shouldn't be dangerous, but - here's our problem: We called the RV park several days ago to check for availability. We also asked if they were impacted by evacuees from hurricane Katrina. They said no, no problem - lots of space. So we just reserved for one night figuring we'd take a look around and see which park we liked the best before committing for our 2 months here. Well, yesterday, before we arrived, they were inundated with calls from evacuees from hurricane Rita. They are booked solid for the weekend and we don't know what to do. Jim is getting on a plane for Salt Lake City tomorrow, returning on Sunday. Ah well - always a challenge. Stay tuned.
