My host in Angleton asked me to leave early and didn't give a partial refund, so I was screwed out of the sixty dollars it costed me to book another place and the cost for gas. I brought it up in the review but I don't think that he cared. My pit stop was in San Antonio, near the Air Force Base in a place called Converse. I made sure to see The Alamo while I was there. The long barracks must've ... » Continue Reading
I'd had another last minute cancellation which was in the heart of Houston, my only option with the sudden cancellation was to book further south. I was frustrated and upset with the host, but such is life sometimes. The quiet home with the family in Katy would later be an environment that I would later miss greatly. The hour long drive south couldn't have been more solemn as the news of our scho... » Continue Reading
The morning that I left Arkansas went smoothly. It'd be a lie to say that I don't miss my hosts, they were nice people even if I didn't talk with them very much. They were good people with so much ahead of them in life and I feel like it was a sign that things may be the same for me. As soon as I started the car, and prepared to back out, the living room lights came on, I didn't want to say good... » Continue Reading
After an evening at the movies with a friend and his wife, after I'd visited their home, and met their dogs and cats I began the drive home. Before going to the movies, I'd watched an episode of the first season of supernatural, the woman and white episode, so my nerves were turned up to eleven but I also wasn't comfortable asking if I could stay the night. Drew and his wife were excellent hosts... » Continue Reading
As the chill just began to set in I bid Carbondale farewell. I was up that morning a good hour before the sun, it felt like such a routine at that point. My things were mostly packed up the morning before, I said goodbye to my host, I filled up my tank the night before, I showered before hitting the road and once I got to my destination. Geographically I left that place, but did I really leave an... » Continue Reading
Greeted by trees as far as the eye could see, and brought to a two story cabin on a hill. This would be my home for the next two months, rather than the one. I don't know if it was because I hadn't replaced the battery on my car yet, or if I wanted to explore Carbondale as I'd explored other towns. Maybe it was because my mother would go on and on about wanting to live in a log cabin when I was a... » Continue Reading
It's always weird leaving an Air BnB in which I've lived for a month. It almost always feels like I'm leaving home again, but my father was never there. A few people were waiting for me on the other end of a lengthy drive. The Texas sun was not so brutal on the way out as it had been on the way to El Paso. Overcast loomed overhead, promising the release of a precipitative kiss from an abysmally ... » Continue Reading
While in El Paso, I decided to take this opportunity to go to Mexico for a number of reasons. The first being that my company was late in paying me, and I thought to look for other places of work in Mexico. I also wanted to see if I'd like living there temporarily. Lastly, I wanted a haircut and an iced coffee. I gathered the necessary information to cross to and from at the time, I found cheap p... » Continue Reading
It was in the early morning, whilst I slept, my last morning in O'Fallon, Illinois. It wasn't as hot as my first morning there, and I was more comfortable than I had been in previous days. While at this house I went through the side effects of the Corona Vaccine and had some pretty nasty back pain from oversleeping. My Air BnB in Fayetteville, Arkansas a little over a week before I was set to lea... » Continue Reading
The day was slowly approaching as I would routinely finish my work every night, soon I would have to leave South Carolina and continue my journey westward. During the latter two weeks of my stay in South Carolina I'd began nursing a small kitten who for the majority of our time together didn't have a name. He was a small, fragile thing, just a little ball of black fur and barely even a belly on ... » Continue Reading
I had visited my grandparents house in central Florida for a holiday and a family get together. I'd made the mistake of booking an Air BnB on that same day, later in the night. I didn't count on the long drive to follow, I thought I'd get to see the town before calling it a night if I left right after lunch. This was » Continue Reading
