T - Town

We arrived in Tulsa just a shade after 4:30. The closer to town we got, the darker the skies got. We got to the hotel, put our bags in the room and went out Walmart for some snacks. As we were shopping the lights went out in the store and prople started screaming.

Sheesh people.. They only BLINKED. I was thinking to myslef, they ought to be in Belize where you are lucky if the lights stay ON. Americans can be such naive people. Well crisis averted, the power was only of long enough to bring down their complete computer system and the queues got longer and longer as their systems came back online.

As we exited the store, their was a torential downpour. I mean I have seen some wicked ass rains in Arkansas, but nothing quite like this. It what the locals would call a 'GULLYWASHER' back home. Sharp lightning and thunderous claps were seemingly continuous. We decided to run for it as it let up just a bit. Instantly we were drenched looking like two drowning rats.

As we drove, it seems the drain system couldnt take the torrents and water started to back up onto the streets. Is this common in Tulsa? They really need to examine their water management.

We stopped for dinner at Waffle House, and then came back to the room and rested.

This mourning the phone rang at 7AM for our wake up call.

GROAN - I am NOT a morning person. I usually go to bed around 5 or 6 and get up at 11.

So we are sitting at the computer kiosk at the hotel. Others are giving me an evil stare wondering what the hell I could be typing so much.

I guess my next post will be from Belize. Or else from a holding area at the airport. LOL

This is my baby's first flight. I am sure she will love it. She is sure she will be clawing at the escape door. We will see. You have to Belize it to Believe it.

See you there.
