| Strolling down New Orleans Royal Street |
Friends, I have been slowly working on uploading photos from camera to my PC hard drive, optimizing and cleaning up the photos, and now uploading them to my photo galleries on line. I've been busier than I expected with church activities, doctor visits to podiatrist, eye doctor, and endocrinologist. Plus now I have added extra dentist visits as I now need to replace two older crowns with new replacements. Also needed to take care of some home maintenance and car maintenance issues. So I will be slower completing my photo gallery updates(11 galleries). I will be wrapping up and linking you to my photo galleries in three blogs beginning with today's blog which will cover my departure from Nashville, a day in New Orleans, and two Amtrak trains traveling from New Orleans through Chicago to Seattle on the City of New Orleans and the Empire Builder.
Later wrap up blocks will cover my six days in Seattle and my Amtrak travel on three trains for 5 days and 4 nights from Seattle to Sacramento to Chicago to New Orleans.
Click on the bold photo captions for each of the photos below to view the first three photo galleries available for you to view now.

Prayer Request Update - My brother-in-law Bobby Youngblood did have successful 5 bypass heart surgery Monday, April 11, in Shreveport, LA. Recovery will be a long process. He has in the past two days been moved to an "in house" rehab room at Willis Knighton Health North hospital in Shreveport. Continue to pray for his recovery and rehab and for his care givers my sister Shirley(Bobby's wife) and sister Pat Betts. As noted below, I will be traveling home to Louisiana May 8-14 to be with my family for a few days.
My Next 2016 TRAVEL PLANS
Louisiana Trip Home - May 8-14
Louisiana home is calling so I'll head that way after Forest Hills Baptist Sunday School and worship on May 8 to visit sisters and brother-in-law hopefully recovering from open heart surgery scheduled for Monday, April 11. And will also visit and tour my great niece Cheri's new home she had built and has moved into this month.
Via Rail and Amtrak Trip to Canada and Albany, NY, May 28 to June 15 - Traveling by Via Rail in Canada to Toronto, Montreal and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Returning to USA via Amtrak for visits to Albany, NY and New Orleans, LA.
Yep, that's all I have officially planned for this calendar year. Other trips will surely be planned.
