So, on Monday, we headed from Palm Desert to the Yorba Linda, CA, area. We picked up Francy from her Pet Hotel, and spent the next couple days in a Residence Inn. These are nice, as you have a kitchen, a separate bedroom, and they are pet friendly. They also have free breakfast and dinner almost everyday. Being able to stay for free, using points gained from business travel, just makes it that much sweeter. I wasn’t so sure about all the stays I had at various Courtyard Marriott’s this past year, but now I’m pleased with them, and look forward to more points!
On Wednesday, I talked to Shawn at Giant RV, and found out our RV would be ready to go Thursday. We had held off making any kind of RV reservations so I then started working on finding a place we could “move” to. We’d thought about heading to a place in Temecula, as we’d be staying there about a week later, but we also found that some of our friends we’d met with in Quartzsite were now staying at Pio Pico in Jamul, CA. So, they had space available, and we made plans to head there after we picked up the RV.
We got the RV around lunch time Thursday, and found out what all was found, covered, etc. The run down was pretty good, and most everything was covered. The errors on the slides were due to a need for alignment, which is not covered, and kinda costly. The leak was actually coming from the shower, and it just ran across the top of the gray tank to the other side of the RV. The rest were fairly straight forward, and so now the AC, the booster switch, and the water heater, are working as they should.
Diane headed back to Orange county for Thursday night, and to do some local things Friday, and I headed off for a lunchtime drive down the road. A quick stop for Propane and gas, and I was on my way.
At Pio Pico, it was pretty easy to find our friends. They were parked on the side with no sewer hookups, and our spot ended up being just across the road from them, just two spaces away from where we stayed last time. So, across the road we have the Travaglino’s, the McCloskey’s, and the Garrison’s. They were away when I arrived, but came back later in the evening.
