ROAD TRIP TO VENICE - Day #2, #3, & #4

Sorry, these last days have been long, but it is day #4 and we are settled in Benson, AZ.

Day 2 - One animal in the car, but Arizona's cat carrier was carried out by someone without the cat!!! Luckily we checked the carrier and we finally had both animals in the car and were ready to go by 8:30a.m. And guess what NO RAIN some sun and clouds.

Somehow George is in charge of the hotel, and we will be heading for "Buttonwillow", but this name is changed by us several times such as: Butterville, Butternutville, Butterbean, but the most approxiate was Buttweed!!!!! Not a pleasant place, smelly and the sheets were holely!!!The Bitch" is really bothering us.

Day 3 - Left motel, because the continental breakfast sucked!! Headed for Starbucks and then on to LA. Lots of fog and smog, maybe a good sunset. "Louise" was giving us a lot of trouble. In fact George was ready to through it out the window.

Went to Palm Desert to visit Linda's high school friends. They were great, let the animals out to play in the grass and around the house. Carol and Mike had a great lunch for us. It was really appreciated. Had a fun visit and heard about Carol and Mike's trip, but look forward to seeing photos later. Then headed on the Indio.

Found a Best Western, much better room and spot. Difficult to find motels for animals!!!

Headed for friends of Kathy and Steve's to "Happy Wonderer", had a little happy hour and headed for a Mexican restaurant. Very fun to visit with Dense, Russ and Gerty.

Day 4 - Our alarm did not go off, we had hopes of leaving at 7:00am, but did not leave until 8:00am. I am not feeling the greatest, lots of tylenol.

Headed for Phoenix to see two Dons, met in Peoria @Chili's. Nice visit, Don Binder leaves Tuesday to see Avery and Ben, lucky Don and Judy.

Left Phoenix and drove to Maricopa to see friends of Schwenns.

Drove on the Benson, AZ to spend the night again in a Best Western, now time for dinner.
