Evidently DeRay forgot to confirm his condo reservation
so when they get to Vegas after freeway delays because of the BLM cattle war
with the ranchers near Bunkerville and shopping at Costco, DeRay, Clare, and
Eddy discover they have no place to stay – on a Saturday night in Las Vegas. It is 4 AM before they finally get settled
in a cheap hotel room. Even after
finding a place on line, when they get there, they’d never heard of them. Waiting.
Waiting. Finally. Then they have to walk forever to get to the
building because parking is packed with gamblers. They can't face carrying their entire
luggage up so many stairs. Oh yes, the inconvenient elevator, even
further away, is broken. They
negotiate for another room. In the
middle of the night, all of this takes times.
Poor dears. What are they going
to do all week in a little dingy hotel room?
No couches; no table, chairs, kitchen.
Not even a microwave or fridge. (Secretly, Clare is happy they don't have to cook!)
Meanwhile, I’m home in my Select Comfort adjustable bed, with a
Jacuzzi tub, sauna, yoga at my fingertips, a full kitchen, new Bosch dishwasher, washing
machine, couches; comfort; triking between thunderstorms; two cats for company; and gloriously, a triangle of tulips bursting into bloom.
Who could ask for anything more?
Amy, maybe. She
and K’Leena are in the Cliff Lodge at Snowbird. They have
everything I have (except cats), plus a swimming pool and. . . . . . . .it is snowing!
Snowbird.
Duh.

Did you enjoy your week of quiet?
Oh, my! And the best part was not having a car so I couldn't go anywhere--Couldn't go swimming; couldn't go for laser treatments. Catch my drift? I like to swim and stretch and roll in the water but its a hassle to get there and find a lane, etc. It's a hassle to go anywhere. I see too many wrecks on the highways and freeways.
