Househunting Trip - Day 1

Left Milton at 1505. Took FL-87, FL-89, US-90 and Avalon BLVD. I-10 to Mobile - took US-90/98 exit (near USS Alabama) and continued over to US-45. Ended up in bad area of Mobile... Eventually on better section of road (two lane almost all the way...) and continued north towards Meridian. Detour at Chunchula (AL-63, AL-217, AL-21 and AL-96). Back on US-45 at Citronelle. Arrived in Meridian at 1900. Luckily, got a room for the night - even without a reservation. Watched State of Union Address in room with dinner (McDonalds). Met some guys at the club who know friends of mine from Pensacola. Looked at local maps - have to find a place very soon (only have three days)... Bed at midnight.
