After emptying our bladders at Shreveport and gathering tons of brochures and maps, we were on our way to our much anticipated destination: New Orleans!

So somewhere between our New Mexico and Texas drive, we managed to acquire a 'lucky bug' (actually, several) on our windshield wipers. Through rain and heavy winds, the bug continued to remain by our side and watched over us during our lengthy drives.

We named him 'Lucky'.

Our 'Lucky' bug-- isn't he adorable?
