So, here's what's happening for us right now.
My mom and sister went over to the Ambassador Inn to see if it was in a livable condition since I read that review to them.
The answer: Not at all.
Since my mom had booked the room, they had at least two and a half hours to clean it and they had promised they'd clean it. That hadn't been done.
They both said that the smell was very bad outside the hotel. Then they both said that the smell in the room was really terrible.
Briana went in for just a tiny amount of time (this was room 115, so a room on the first floor), and something leaked on her from the ceiling.
We started looking for any other vacancies in hotels. We ended up in a suite at the Towneplace Suites by Marriot on the Texas side of Texarkana. We're in room 301 for those of you who'd like to know.
My mom managed to lose her cell phone before we left yesterday, so I don't know if she is going to go to the Sprint store here in Texarkana or if we'll be without that contact.
Everything on CNN and the weather channel seems to be about New Orleans, of course. However, so far, it looks like they've predicted that Gustav is going to hit west of New Orleans and then it looks like the whole storm is going to cover all of Louisiana.
We have to go out and get quite a few things.
I didn't pack any clothes. I need new clothes. I didn't pack my toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, razors (and I still have the stupid sores from ant bites, so shaving is still questionable, darn it!), or any personal hygiene items at all.
We didn't pack any food, either, but we do have a fridge and a stove and a microwave in the suite.
For more info from where I live, visit http://www.kplctv.com and find the videos or news stories about Gustav. Also, http://www.wunderground.com is a good site. Just find the link that says "tropical storms" and then find "Gustav."
