The Holiday Inn Express Pascagoula-Moss Point in Moss Point, Mississippi was ready and waiting for our arrival, and upgraded us to the "Wilson Suite."
When I saw the name on the suite door, for some reason I found myself thinking of Tom Hanks screaming WilsonNNNNN as his soccer ball floated off to sea. Did you know that one of the three volleyballs used in the film Cast Away was sold in an auction for $18,400? That's a bunch of money. There's a lot of interesting trivia associated with that movie. Sometime you ought to look it up on IMDB.
But this hotel stay was not to to be a castaway. In fact, the suite turned out to be very nice. It was a generous sized suite with a cute little corner wet-bar - with a tissue holder on the front side right in the middle. I thought the tissue holder in the bar was rather clever. After all, how many times do you find yourself standing at the microwave or refrigerator saying to yourself "Gee. I sure wish I had a tissue while I am popping my popcorn." Well, they solved that problem.
The hotel was also right across the street from a very nice little Mexican Restaurant called Hacienda San Miguel. Viewing the restaurant from the hotel it appears that the restaurant is located at a truck stop. I asked at the front desk and was told that the trucks just park next to the restaurant, and that the restaurant was actually very good. We decided to try it, and were pleased that just like we were told, it was actually very good and reasonably priced. We had a pitcher of margaritas, then walked back across the street and re-joined Wilson.
