Our Stay at Red Roof Monroe, LA
After arriving in Monroe, we checked into our comfortable Red Roof Inn and quickly headed to the grocery store to stock up on provisions. That evening, I left our room to have some privacy for a planned phone call with a friend. It turned out to be a “two birds, one stone” win; while catching up for an hour, I covered about three miles without even noticing! Because the neighborhood felt safe, even though the road lacked sidewalks, I continued my walking routine over the next few days to hit my step goals.

Four days later, it was again time to say goodbye to Monroe. Despite our intention to have a relaxing stay here in Louisiana, our schedule had been filled with activities. Before we checked out, I went for a last walk in the neighborhood. This time, a friendly driver asked, “Are you okay, ma’am?” My reply, “Just getting my daily steps in!” was met with a pleasant, “Ah, exercising, good for you!” After I returned to the hotel, we packed our last items, and just a few minutes before check-out, we hit the road for Hot Springs, Arkansas.
