Ever since I found out that, at his new facility in Louisiana, David could have contact-allowed visits....I've been trying to plan my trip down there. I've been going back and forth between road trips and flights, weighing the costs and the pros and the cons....and tonight that all finally came to fruition.
I booked my flight on Southwest!
I'm flying into New Orleans on a Friday night. I get in late, so hopefully I can still get my rental car. Will drive the three hours to stay in Pine Prairie Friday night. Visit him on Saturday for a couple hours. Not sure what I'll do after 3:00, but I'm sure I can drive up to Alexandria or even Baton Rouge for a little while. Come back and stay by Pine Prairie Saturday night, so I can see him again on Sunday. After the 3:00 visit on Sunday, I plan to drive back to NOLA and stay there Sunday and Monday nights. I didn't want my first visit to be without David, but I plan to bring my camera, and I think it will be more of a sightseeing/photographic trip at that point. And we'll return at a later date of course, to take advantage of much more of what is available!
I don't know. I don't really care, the only thing I'm concerned about is getting to see him, hug him, kiss him....right now, that's the only thing keeping me going while not knowing a date for his release still. So...if he is released before then, it would be AMAZING obviously. But if he's not....at least I will get to see him two days in a row, and be able to touch him for the first time in 9 months! Yes, that is how long it will have been if I visit him in May. Crazy, right??
So the trip is set. At least if I have nothing else, I have that date to look forward to. Sometimes that's all you can hope for. Right?
