Sore neck. Darn homemade pillow of clothes! Kitty breaky at the van before hitting the road around 9am. We drove about an hour until we reached Rosewell (aka Alienville). Some guy back in 1947 found a metal wreckage in his yard that was believed to be a crashed UFO. It was later proved to have been a weather balloon. We went to the tiny UFO museum for 20 mins. Drove for half an hour or so before stopping at Walmart so JD could grocery shop to top up our food ki...

Up around 7ish for an 8am departure. Free breaky at the hotel was nothing to write home about...fruitloops or stale bread rolls. We drove for about 3 1/2 hours to Carlsbad, where we stopped for our picnic kitty lunch. Then into Carslbad Caverns which is the most amazing cave!! It's so big inside you could fit not 1 but 2 x 747 planes in there. Or 14 football fields. Photos just dont do it justice, it's purely breathtaking. The whole way through you're following ...

I didn't have the best sleep. We had the whole 12 bed dorm to ourselves so most of us had bottom bunks, yay! I dislike climbing up on bunks alot, but I even more so really really really really dislike getting back down again, especially when you're half asleep! Anyway, mine was sooooo squeaky, everytime I moved! And I woke up freeeezing at one stage so I stole the blanket from not 1 but 2 spare beds! This dorm provided cooking facilities but it was BYO food, exc...

We got up early and had a camp breaky of cereal and milk before packing up camp and hitting the road around 9.30am. It was sooo muggy overnight. We had the little A/C going in our room all night. At around 5.30am I went for a walk to the bathrooms and put my jacket on to go out, only to find it was stinking hot, at 5.30am?!?! We drove for around 3 1/2 hours before reaching Austin, Texas. We stopped by a park and had our kitty lunch sangas before heading to t...

Up early again and headed down for free brekky. Didn't see anyone down there, must've been too early for the others! I was packed and out of our room half an hour early and Sophie still had crap everywhere, haha. We drove for about half an hour before our first stop - an alligater swamp tour. We went in a tin boat out into the swamp and saw American gaters including the big fella named El Whoppo. We fed them marshmallows because they think they're bird eggs, ha...
