The Curse Continues

Just a little background.... My best friend since seventh grade and I have traveled various places together and we tend to either leave a mark on the place --or it leaves a mark on us! I tell you this so that you will understand our story. I won't drag you through every trip, but will hit the high points to make my point.
High school- she thinks she may want to go to Ole Miss, so we go check it out. Just the two of us (what were our parents thinking?!) head to Mississippi. This is her trip, I am along for the ride. Drive is fine, but when we get there, all of the information she was sent about housing, game tickets for the weekend and a school tour--no one knows anything about. Ok, we can deal with this, let's just get a room somewhere, get tickets from a scalper and move on. EXCEPT it's small town Mississippi, on a game weekend. No rooms, no tickets, no nothin'!! So, we drive as far as Memphis (this is pre-cell phone). I have a friend with a hotel there, we check in, plan to stay and shop, and call our folks. I call to find out mine are checked into the same hotel--2 rooms away. Really?
Fast forward 10+ years, we decide to go to Branson for the weekend. We were unaware of the BIG Vetetan's day celebration Brandon hosts. BIG parade through the middle of town, that we accidentally got to be a part of. One room available in the middle of nowhere. Four total rooms in this place, totally out of the movie Deliverance...listening for the banjos. We decided it would be safer to just sleep in the car. Fortunately, a room in Kimberling City was available so we drove and stayed safely there.
This hotel has since blown away in a tornado, completely taking the room we stayed in. Left our mark there....
Fast forward to 2012. Hot Springs, we debated about her joining me at a conference there. We jokingly discussed our travel issues. We met anyway and had a great time. Both of us cautiously waiting for the other shoe to drop. We invited another friend to meet us and told her our story, and she was not scared off! Lol everything went perfectly. This is where I come back to the "leaving our mark" curse. Yesterday, I received this photo. It's an Italian place we found on the lake to eat. Great food! Burned down. Really.
So Leslee, you didn't break our streak, I think your probably a part of it now! Sheree thanks for being such a sport in our adventures!
Who wants to sign up to travel with us now? It's always an adventure!
