Day 1...Not a good start

Hi there everyone, Welcome back. Happy New Year!

We are trying to get to AZ. Packed and packed and finished yesterday in time to go out for a New years dinner.

We had a quiet relaxing evening at home but Mel started coughing. By 10 he went to bed but the cough wouldn't let him sleep well.

We planned to have breakfast with Trey and then head to Des Moines to have lunch with Terri and Bob. But when we woke up Mel just didn't feel well but decided to leave anyway. He coughed all the way to Des Moines and decided to get to a motel. He didn't want to give the cold to Terri and Bob.

We stopped at Burger King for a quick lunch. Mel only had a small burger and I had a Big Mac. Molly had a bite too.

We spotted a Motel 6 but couldn't find the entrance. After driving around a while we found it. Sure was a dumb way to get to the motel. I went to the office and got checked in. Our room was way to the back (of course). Parked car, grabbed our bags, purse, computer and up to the door.. Keys don't work. The maid didn't understand english.. "go office..go office" she kept saying. So we repacked us, Molly, and the bags back in the car and drove way around back to the office.

New keys and a different room later we are here. Mel is sound asleep. I haven't heard him cough. I hope a good sleep is what he needed.

Maybe we can have supper with the Speirs. :-)

Now if I can get my wireless keyboard to work........

Thanks for stopping in. I almost forgot how to use this blog.

God Bless
