Ken got up around 6:30 and went down to the lobby to get some coffee. He said it tasted dreadful. We have an expresso machine in our RV, so we are spoiled with good coffee. If it isn’t good, we’d rather not have any. He went out to the RV to see if the freezer was still cold. The bag of ice we had in there had just started to melt. The chicken was still frozen. The items in the refrigerator section were still cold, but we threw everything out just in case. There wasn’t much left. He came back up to the room; we took showers and packed up. As he was loading up, I went to the hotel lobby and got some breakfast for us: granola, toast, orange juice. Stopped for gas at Safeway; ... read more

My wife and I have always seen the United States as a nation that provides superior airline service. Our interaction with our countries airlines has been one of comfort, fairness, courtesy and above all SAFETY!!

So I see that my last entry was in October. Wow. Quick updates from there before I get to the present. I'll make this quick. I went to Mexico with a group of friends that are turning out to be my "group" (unfortunately they're spread all throughout Arizona, so it makes consistent hanging out a little difficult). Mexico was an absolute blast! We went to Rocky Point, which is essentially Arizona's Tijuana. Point being - we just drank and spent time on the beach (which was, MAYBE, 100 feet from our room at the resort). It was fantastic. Um, I'm still working at Sunflower Market, not so much the campus coffee shop. I quit because, well, to put it lightly, the owner and manager are two of the most unintelligent people I've ever met. Ever. So ... read more
