Had a great morning with Al and Linda and was hard to say good bye. We had such a wonderful visit with them. After a three hour stretch through the beautiful desert (I love the saguaro cactus), we arrived in Yuma about three. I didn't know what to expect with the hotel/motel because the Hotel I wanted to stay in was booked! I couldn't believe that one but oh well. Anyway booked online with the same company, different site. When we pulled up my heart sank as we were looking a a motel, built I'm sure in the 40’s or 50’s. darn it, now what do we do???....not only was our room not adjoining the rest, it was across the street in another section ....now we are definitely in another era ! We are in the 'West wing'. Funny that. I went in, guns blazing expecting to find it lacking, but we were pleasantly surprised. Clean as a whistle, some updating and cute as a button. Absolutely pillow soft bed and speaking of pillows...we have 7 on the bed! Bill is already sleeping. Nice touches with cruise animal shaped pillows on the bed, and the toilet roll end, cut in strips and made to look like a bird. Unreal!
Finally met up with Gaye and Graeme, both feeling a tad better. Such nasty colds! Had happy hour with the Campell River contingent, and then went for din din and home to sleep...well, you know, Bill is out for the count, and I am computering.
Tomorrow I think we are off to the Arizona market...... To be continued......
Pictures are of Linda and Al's beautiful Tucson home, the desert and our Yuma accommodations for two days.
Xoxo
P.s. for those trying to get through on our Havasu phone number....we're not there yet. Will be on the first of February.
