Thinking it might have just been to downtown Savannah on River Street?
Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Fooled you!!!
That lovely mural was on the wall of the lobby at the Quality Inn of Pooler.
Yes, really!
See my butterfly tote bag on the bed?
Room 204 was my haven for the evening, a long-needed chance for me to "wake up somewhere else", even if only 20 miles from home.
(No, the bear was not with me.
I am claiming this as my new 'date night' since Fridays are no longer an option.)
First course was a fabulous salad, this time with honey-lime dressing rather than my usual balsamic.
Fabulous!
Veggie plate was my choice for main course!
How could I resist red beans and rice?
I could not - especially as I knew there would be sausage in that bowl!
I had saved the crusty croissant for dessert - tre bien!
Plus, I had a gift card, so I had treasure for Treasure to reward her service!
(smile!)
I'm glad I'd bought my tickets last week when the bfrb and I saw the wolf flick!
I had not thought then of staying overnight...
that decision was made on Monday.
So, what was the theme for my pairing of movies?
Well, I thought it was romance...
but I was not quite right!
Gabriel House of Care was born from that gift.
"Love And Monsters" followed a 24-year-old on his 85-mile trek through a post-apocalyptic Earth to Aimee, his girlfriend when they were 17 and the world was normal.
He hadn't realized that she had maybe not been waiting for that boy... and she was now a woman.
So...
I hadn't gotten what I'd thought I would -
but I certainly got what I needed.
Right place, right time.
Afterward, I'd bopped back to Exit 102, to my home for the evening.
Wonder of wonders, guess what was just starting on the telly?
Another romance: "Deadpool 2"!!!
Wade and Vanessa... two colorful jigsaw puzzle pieces perfectly fitted!
Afterward, I jammed to two old favorites, "Sex In The City" and "That 70's Show" and both of them had episodes about weddings!
Love those coincidences!
Three nude men!!!
It was one of my favorite episodes of "How I Met Your Mother", the one in which Robin falls for a stunt pulled by a one-night date... and that Ted and Barney each try to replicate.
Ah, the shadow thrown by The Naked Man is a long one, but not all can follow in his footsteps!
Hahahaha! Hahaha!
Feeling well and truly blessed, I was in bed by 1 AM - two hours earlier than my usual.
Right place, right time.
The next morning, I snagged the last English muffin at the free breakfast - woohoo! - and smeared it liberally with peanut butter and two types of jelly - both apple and grape - just because I could!
(smile!)
I ate in my room, reveling in "Night Court" with Harry and Bull, watching two episodes, flipping back and forth during the 'mercials to the Toddler Tunes music station.
Yes, that's what I said and that's what I meant, too.
Toddler Tunes was at the number listed for 80's Hits, but, rather than try to find the latter, I stayed for the jokes.
Seriously!
How does the ocean say hello?
- It waves.
What did one wall say to the other?
- I'll meet you at the corner.
Where do you learn to make banana splits?
- In sundae school.
What do you get when you cross a frog with a rabbit?
- A bunny ribbit!
Hahahaha! Hahaha!
Right place, right time.
Now, I am home again, my mental state much calmer...
my travel itch scratched...
my psyche reset.
i thank You, God.

Had I mentioned that "Love And Monsters" was rather scientific in its approach, with the young man documenting the creatures met along his journey west?
No, I had not, but he did.
Had I mentioned that the young man kept a journal during this post-apocalyptic time in his life?
No, I had not, but he did.
Had I mentioned how much this movie had the flavor of "How To Train Your Dragon", one of my favorite movies?
No, I had not, but it did.
Okay, all caught up now!
Had I mentioned that I'm planning to see it again on Tuesday?
Yep, I just did!
Yeah, another trip to Pooler!
