Well, after five weeks on the road I took a week off to spend time with Jane and the cats. It was so nice to be home! ;) Things weren't all peaches and cream on the road and my travel plans to get home kept falling apart...but everything worked out in the end. Got to visit with a few of my friends while I was home...btw, next time lunch is on me. :) And got to spend a day with my Mom, too!
Found a few geocaches, including an FTF (first to find)...and was able to help one of the travel bugs I was carrying meet one of its goals by visiting Daytona International Speedway.
Now that all that's over, I jumped on an AirTran flight and, after a brief layover in Atlanta (where I got to play Scoop's "Island of Atlanta" game) I'm back in Dallas...actually staying in Garland...to complete my training. I'll be taking a few classes while I'm here, then I'll be back on the road for three more weeks.
After doing a little 'administrative' stuff at the office today, I was given the afternoon off to relax...so I went back to the hotel and configured my laptop & iPod for the FREE WiFi at the hotel, then took a walk (which for me means that I went geocaching...yes, I found one). I've heard the pool is much nicer here than the HoJo I stayed at last time. If any of you know how to use Google Maps, here are the coordinates for my hotel: N 32 50.331 W 96 35.645
Oh yeah, while I was taking that walk I ate at Whataburger for the first time. I must say, what I've been hearing is true...that was a great burger. I've always felt Wendy's was better than McDonalds or Burger King...now Whataburger may have Wendy's beat.
Well, it's raining now...so I'm glad I took my walk earlier.

For a good burger, check out Five Guys Burgers and Fries - they're all over the place. We just went to the one here in Utah (the other two are "coming soon", one just down the street from us) - liked it quite a bit. Simple menu, outstanding fries, and plenty of options for the burgers.
The one that struck us as really funny was the kosher dog + cheese and bacon. Obviously, with the cheese and bacon, that made it slightly less than kosher....
