got here about 1300, found motel and checked in. Yesterday Becky finally checked her airline reservation and discovered that her flight was leaving on Nov 9............NOT the 10th as she has been telling me for the past 3 weeks!! I made reservations for the motel for the 10th, called them and they said "no problem". I guess there was no problem as the parking lot only has 4 vehicles in it. Motel is downtown and not far from the airport...........I was kinda worried about what we would find; but, it's OK.........an older motel but it's CLEAN, has a small refrigerator, 70 channels of cable TV, microwave, free wi-fi, iron and board; but, NO coffee maker.........which doesn't bother me a bit. They gave Becky a number to call for a shuttle ride to the Hawaiian Air terminal so I don't have to try and fight my way to Sky Harbor.........something I didn't particularly care to do at rush hour on a Monday morning. The shuttle will pick her up at 0620 and she has to be sitting on the curb waiting for it...............sure hope she makes it OK.
I'll be snoozing and will head back to Yuma when I finally wake up in the morning.
After we arrived we headed for a casino that's about 17 miles away. Thank goodness for NUVI..........found it with no problems. Smaller casino so it didn't have a restaurant...........just a snack bar; but, I had a half pound burger and Becky had a French Dip tri-tip sandwich. They were both good. I sat and watched football which Becky tried her luck on the slots. When I found her she was grinning like a possum eating crap out of a wirebrush. The first slot she played put her about $90.00 ahead. After that she wandered from slot to slot, I made my contributions and finally found a machine that put me $7.00 ahead...........I quit and Becky did the same. She had money stuffed into all her pockets, socks, money belt and bra...........looked pretty good with a full bra! When we left she counted her money and figured she was $80.00 + ahead. Not a bad way to kill a few hours.
Got a call for an early wake up............Mac Burger is a couple of blocks away so might be able to grab a breakfast sandwich before the shuttle arrives.
That's about it for this weekend.............I'll fly out on the 30th and we both have the same return flight.
