That is what this one particular husband does for his wife. He drives. In all actuality Jeff Thompson is a driver, a truck driver who takes his “really wants to be a journalist” wife with him. Most of the time he say's he couldn't do it without her which is good. It has been a great ride being driven all over the country side and it has been amazing. Seems as if Annie say's “Sure would be nice to see … and that seems to be the very next place that the company Jeffrey drives for sends them.
By the way...I am Annie and I am loving this. I asked to see the great wonders of the North, South, East and West of the great U.S.A. and that is exactly what has been given. From New York to Florida, The great St. Louis Arch to the Grand Canyon and then the San Fernando Valley. Sunsets over beautiful cities and sunrises over amazing mountain ranges this has been a blessing in disguise and there is so much more to come.
There is still the journey and an amazing quest for the dream of the Big Truck with the Big House on it at work here and the payoff will happen. So far, this journey has been worth every blessed minute.
Thanks for coming along for the ride and......It was “Off to St. Louis” and the rest of the story is....
$300. Serenity, Luxury and WOW!
That is the kind of three-day vacation you can get from St. Louis. From the moment a person arrives in downtown St. Louis, patrons are treated to the relieving stress-free fantasy of Luxury and a person's heart will go aw yeah.
First stop is the amazing Drury Plaza Hotel on Fourth St. in the heart of downtown St. Louis managed by Cherrie Schulz. There is beauty galore. Imagine taking a Semi-Truck to the heart of downtown St. Louis and worn from the road drivers being treated like their most prized guests. It happened. Free Parking and when they say it...they mean it. Transportation provided by the hotel picks you up at the closest location to safely park a semi-Truck (usually beside another one of their locations and then delivers you back to the hotel. With a staff of 120, there is always someone there when you need them. The guest services, front desk and round the clock house keeping are always delighted to make sure you are treated as royalty no matter who you are or what your lineage is. Beautiful marble everywhere. Chandeliers, fireplaces, fountains and beautiful lifelike statues of frontiersmen and animals over a serene river all await you inside the lobby. Your bags are delivered to your room and when you finally step into the oasis that awaits inside your room you may want to hang on to something as you swoon. On the top floor (The tenth floor) the view is unbeatable for a cityscape. Wall to wall windows give you a view of the heart of St. Louis where in June and July there are weddings galore. The beds are sinkable and so many fluffy pillows that can take anyone into slumbering on a cloud. Cleanliness is everywhere. The bathroom area is a suite all in itself and once settled in it becomes very difficult to leave the room for all that awaits downstairs. There you will find Silver domed buffets serving breakfast that can't be beat and a staff that really cares. Food to your hearts content and so yummy you can very easily overeat without realizing it in the a.m.. So.....hang on to that food for a while because once you set off all on foot to explore the world of St. Louis under the Arch and the Arch itself you are going to need the energy.
Next it is off explore the Plaza and the beautiful parks. Take your dog if you have one and let them show off their tails. During the June and July months you will see many weddings and there are always carriage rides available to anyone wanting to experience that romantic ride. There is shopping galore but you can easily forget about all the shopping once you realize that you are so close to the Science Center, the Zoo, all of the beautiful fountains, historic buildings and statues that will take your appreciation to a new level. After a brief rest a trip to the top of the Arch at Sunset is a must. Buy your tickets the day before, online to prevent having to stand in long lines for an hour. If you enjoy sunsets then get your tickets for around seven-thirty in the evening. This gives you plenty of time to enjoy the movies that take a person back in time and enjoy the wonderful shops inside the Arch. There is also a Museum inside the Arch you will want to see. This makes a great family trip or even just a romantic get away.
For the price, the Drury Hotel re-defines luxury in a way that that makes the clientele feel like the rich and famous. Remember the word Concierge. The front desk staff know it well. Can I say “Towels please?” Yes you may and delivered to your door in seconds still warm. And then next after a supreme evening meal at Max and Emma's, a nice drink of wine on the house and it is time for sweet, sweet divine sleep.
So, go ahead and take the trip. It is worth it to anyone needing a fabulous mini-vacation.
Have fun, enjoy and until next time...
Keep it between the lines.
