On the Hunt !

We had thought we were going to have our motorhome washed AND waxed on Thursday.  Well, that wasn’t exactly what they had planned.  They could wash it but would have to come back several days later to wax.  After having several appointments this week and having to wait an hour or so past the appointment time for the worker-bee to show up, we had a hard time agreeing to wait again.  Thus, we decided to do our own wax job.  That decision saved us about $100.   I wonder what they would charge if you had a dirty coach and just wanted the wax job?  Would they wash it for free?  Maybe … that’s what we should have “booked”. 

We haven’t seen rain since we left the Pacific Northwest.  All we had to do was wash the RV and the rain clouds rolled in.  I’m thinking everyone in Southern California was probably happy we washed it because the result was a pretty good shower overnight.  Of course, we weren’t happy about it but they were.

Friday we decided to take a little ride.  It was about 30 miles west to the very famous Cabazon Outlets.  We’ve been to that outlet before.  It’s like no other outlet.  It has the normal stores you see in every other outlet but it also has outlets for the big names like Fendi, Armani, Gucci and Prada plus a zillion other high end shops.  They’ve even added on to it since we were there last time.  It’s huge.  I did walk away with a couple things but not from the stores I just mentioned.  Saks was having a pretty good mark-down but that was just about it.

We are on the hunt.  That’s for sure.  We’re hunting for a place to pull in and stay put for a month or two or maybe eventually twelve.  That’s not saying we won’t wander around Arizona for a bit because we will.  We’ve been scanning the internet for the perfect “little” park around Tempe, Mesa or Apache Junction.  We thought about Casa Grande but that’s a little farther from Terry’s mom.   I guess you could say we’re even on the prowl looking for a place that’s little, active and not run down.  Even though we really like this area, we’re kind of anxious to move on down the road.  Of course, we won’t be passing through Quartzsite without stopping for a night or two and probably a pizza from Silly Al’s.

I did say pizza at Silly Al's.  It seems we've not been lucky lately in eating out.  The other night we went to Red Robin.  We've NEVER had a bad visit to Red Robin until now.  It's not us when you get  your bottomless drink served about the time you finish your meal or when your hamburger is too raw to eat!  Oh well .... it forced me into trying my first Shepherd's Pie the next night (Toni, it was super good!).

‘Tis life on the road.

Politeness is an inexpensive way of making friends.
