We’re about to head out of Oklahoma City this morning on Day 3 of the Road Trip to Vegas, where I’m teaching Butterfly Marketing strategies at a conference hosted by it’s creator, Mike Filsaime.

Yesterday was the longest drive (by design), and it was filled with some amazing scenery of a part of the country I’ve never been through.

Have to say driving takes longer, but it sure is a good way to see what’s out there.

We drove from Birmingham to OKC, which took us through Memphis, Tennessee; Tupelo, Mississippi (birthplace of… (put your guess in the comments); over the bridge of the Mississippi River into Arkansas, and eventually into Texas.

The surprise of the day was B98.5 radio in Arkansas. As I wrote yesterday, the auxiliary jack of the car isn’t working, and for some reason our XM receiver that I pulled from my car isn’t getting a clear signal. So we’re a slave to the radio since we burned through our CDs the first day. The radio station was quite good, and lasted almost the entire way through Arkansas, which along I-40 is a long way.

Another surprise was Rick’s Rib House in Ft. Smith, Arkansas, on the border with Oklahoma. Delicious food, quick and courteous service, etc. Would definitely recommend it over the traditional exit-restaurant food.

Shot some more video during Day 2 as well. I think you’ll love the clouds and the open flatness of the region after the rolling lower Appalachian/Ozarks.

Time to get going for a shorter drive today. We’re headed to Albuquerque, where I get to meet two more of my favorite people – Meredith Eisenberg and Judy Kelly, at a local business women Meetup. Should be fun!

p.s. There’s still time to get a charter membership at the IM Success Library, “where you can learn a lot for a little!”

p.p.s. I should have video and photos from the first 2 days coming out tomorrow.
