Well, the trip to Mississippi was one that was well past due for us. We had spent so much time in various places, talking, dining and all the while having to watch the eternal movement of a watch or clock of some sort. This time was different. As her, I was not sure how well we would get along in such close quarters for a period of time. All I knew was that our time was finally here. No clocks, no watches to tell us it was time to part. Instead we have days, not just mere hours or a few stolen minutes. There are a few things I do need to relay though. When we finally arrived at our exit off of I10 in Mississippi, we pulled off to a Raceway gas station I believe it was and decided to stretch and do the restroom thing. After that I asked about the hotel we would be using. Well as it was she had already had a coupon for a hotel but it had a catch. We would have had to go to some type of seminar for a full day or two. We talked about it and decided to have nothing to do with it. So we noticed a tourist coupon magazine rack. The ones you see mainly at rest areas. We picked up one of the mags and started looking through it for a reasonable(cheap) hotel there. It being the off season as it was should not have been too bad. We looked through it and found the one called the Paradise Hotel, which, was right on the beach, O.K. across the street from it. Needless to say the name sounded perfect all by itself. We had gotten to it and checked in noticing that the place was fairly vacant. All the better for us anyway. Was alright, even if it wasn't, we took a room on the far outside corner of the building. A little more quiet, not sure for who though...us or maybe them...LOL Belle knows what I am talking about. As it was the time we had could not have been more perfect in all we did. And to mention it, all we did was spend time together, nothing special, just together like we have always wanted. I guess if I had to pick one moment outside the room, would have to be watching the fish in the marina chase around a flashlight beam we shined in the water. We both laughed like kids and got a big kick out of it. Oh sure the casino was fun, the the walks were fun, but that one moment is one where you wish you could just freeze time. But the other times were grand on a different scale all by themselves. The dinners together, looking at each other across the table, the drinks we had in the little bar the hotel had, the morning(?) breakfasts with the little, very talkative waitress that we had, to just sitting out at the picnic table and reading the local newspaper. It was a time, that will forever be with me. I have been a very lucky man to have these time with her and look forward to many more. Now thats Amore'!
