Back Down South

After having delays in both Ottawa and Chicago, snow and baggage, I made it to New Orleans. I was picked up and brought to Slidell where I had parked my car. I was glad to see it was still there and that all my tools and my bike were there. I had lunch in Slidell and then made my way east to Gulfport. The drive was under an hour. I arrived at the site around 3. The OSM had gotten my email and was expecting me sometime in the afternoon. I was showed my apartment and started to settle in. The lodgings here are in 2 small apartment buildings, with 4 units in each. Each unit has 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, washroom and sitting area. I believe I will be sharing the apartment with another single guy. One of the units is used as the dining area and kitchen and the head cook's bedroom. It is going to be very tight once we get the whole group dining together. Another one has the lounge, the OSM's office and their bedroom. We are a few blocks north of a beautiful looking white sandy beach. The sign says it is closed. But its just a sign.
There is one man and a couple here that work with shorter term DRS groups. They stay in our lodgings, while the groups are housed elsewhere. Friday night we went out to IHOP for supper, the OSM, the CS, the man and couple and myself.
I think I am going to enjoy myself again, but I just need to readjust. It didnt take me too long to readjust to the weather. I will try to keep this updated with stories and pictures so that y'all can stay informed.
