Day 33 Council Bluffs

We got away from Denton about 8AM. Good travelling until we got close to Oklahoma City. The GPS then told us there was a road closed on our route and wanted to re-route us. We said yes...but when it started to re-route without even getting into Oklahoma City, we smelled a rat and things just didn't look right. To make a long story short we ended up ignoring what it said and we didn't have a problem staying on Interstate 35. hmmmm....

After lunch stop and some delays for construction on Highway 75 which it didn't warn us about...we got to the Kelly Inn in Omaha about 7. We have stayed here before and it is good. We would prefer to stay at the one in Council Bluffs, but it was always a dump. Apparently it has been remodelled but still gets some bad reviews and get this...it allows two dogs of 40 lbs each, it allows cats, and it allows birds. Got to wonder if this is a hotel or a zoo. Nothing against people with pets, my son has a great dog, friends as well, some with cats...but birds as well??? Just not for me thanks.

We were off to our favorite casino then, the Horseshoe. About 8 when we got there and we had the buffet. Pretty good with large assortment. I about broke even but Katie did her normal thing and netted $425.

Just about pays for gas....we probably averaged $3.78/gal on the way home.

Then it was back to the hotel to grab some sleep.

Friday it will be another 10 hour drive back to home, and we really don't care what time we get home.

more later...
