Tickets for Play

We had to wait several minutes in the lobby before the Panida opened the doors. Then it was slow-going as the tickets were not collected quickly and the entry ticket was exchanged for another ticket, and then again exchanged for another ticket once you were past the entry doors.

Hubby picked up popcorn to go with his latte.

Inside the Panida

We sat on the right of the stage midway down. 2 stupid loud women had the WHOLE theatre to sit within and decided to sit RIGHT BEHIND US. One of them kicked my seat the whole play, then her phone began to ring mid play. Bitch. THEY TOLD YOU TO TURN OFF YOUR PHONES. BITCH.
FUCKING STUPID RUDE PEOPLE.

So during the 3 change of screen, we decided to use the restrooms and go to the balcony because hubby had finished his food. The notices around asked you not to take food into the balcony. There were wide sofa-like seats in the balcony, wish we had sat there before.

But the play was a slog, slow to get to ANY point. It was not amusing. The jokes and plot were only entertaining if one was an actual naturalized Sandpoint citizen who had lived there for YEARS! Jokes about former restaurants and bars.

For me, it was boring and seemed to not have a point.

We left at 8:00.

Hubby drove home. We saw an accident half way home. A new GM truck was on it's side in the ditch. However, the roads were only wet and not slippery. Already a tow truck and police had flashing lights taking care of it.

Hubby remembered that he had picked up the receipt for the Jeep cleaning. So we drove over to Walmart. Decided to stop at the Post Falls Starbucks to see if they had birthday card gift cards. When we pulled up in front and parked in handicapped parking, some asshole was having a fucking time of getting his kid out of the car. He refused to shut his door so I could get out. Then I finally got out and the guy's fucking cunt wife backed up and almost ran over me!

The Starbucks had NO birthday gift cards, so I returned to the truck. Hubby said that when I walked into the store, the asshole guy had looked at the license plate to see if it was handicapped, when he looked up, hubby was holding his middle finger up and pointing at the handicap placard! The guy refused to look at him again.

I went downstairs to turn on the Dry Sauna

When I went down to sit in the sauna, I took down eggs & towels. I dropped one box of eggs on the floor going into the bathroom. Hubby helped me clean it up.

Then I dropped my water bottle in the sauna. Hubby helped me clean it up and put the fan on the soaking wet carpet.

I took a shower after sauna.

I did laundry.

Then hubby came down to sit in the sauna. He took a shower afterwards.

We went to bed after watching Archer.

TUESDAY JANUARY 9

TUESDAY
JANUARY 9 2018

Got up at 5AM and checked out of the hotel.

SO MUCH SMOKE. It was disgusting. We smelled awful.

Stopped to get gasoline at a station before going to Enterprise. A homeless man asked for money, but we gave him all our food instead. He seemed happy about it.

We called for an UBER and got Juan. He was a Cuban immigrant and had been here 2 years. Very nice guy. Great ride. Clean car.

It only cost $16 instead of over $40 for our taxi from the airport. Quite a deal.

Juan dropped us off at the Airport. We gave him our blanket and water bottles that we still had left in the rent-a-car.

We printed our tickets as I had upgraded to automatic check-in 36 hours before flight. We were A32 & A33.

Hung around until the Harley Store opened at 7:30AM. But they were not Airport Harley. So we did not get a poker chip.

Walked thru TSA, very easy. Hubby forgot he still had his knife, so he had to hand it over.

Went to Concourse B to wait for the plane. We got a gross, disgusting latte from Einstein Bagels and I got a cheese bagel. Hubby went over to get a burrito. The burrito spilled red sauce everywhere.

They called out that our flight was going to be loading at 12:15PM on Concourse C instead. So we hustled over there.

My suitcase handle broke, so had to carry it.

We waited at Concourse C. They announced that the cloud bank was under 500 feet with the rain, so they were slowing down air traffic. Our plane was coming from San Diego? So they were an hour late.

A young couple was chasing their little boy around. He was SO cute.

Lined up for loading. We were just 2 people from sitting in the Emergency Door section for extra leg room. Almost thought the family with 5 kids under 5 was going to sit behind us, but the Flight Attendant told them they could not sit small children behind the Emergency Exit doors. They were quite put out, but I didn't give a damn. Their crappy little kids were crying and screaming. Too many kids to handle. Don't feel like you have to repopulate their earth on your own!

The flight was bumpy. Pilot went fast to make up for time. No views as cloud cover all the way to Spokane Airport.

Bumpy landing.

KR picked us up. Stopped at Stateline to get gas for KR in her car. She drove us to Jitterz because I needed coffee. Then back to the Post Falls store to get the Dodge.

We left hubby there to talk to guys while we drove to KR's. I missed my puppies.

Wilson and Ben were so excited to see me, but did not bark. Beebo squealed and barked. 

Hubby finally got there about 1 hour later. We talked to KR for a while. She told us about new boyfriend, James. He sounds a million times a better person than jackass.

We drove home. It was getting dark. Raining. Stopped at Stein's. Hubby got milk, oranges, apples.

At home, it was cold. Found all the kitties. Turned on heat.

Cleaned up the house. Cleaned up kitty litter.

Started laundry. Started dishes.

Went to bed at 10PM. We were both exhausted.

MONDAY JANUARY 8

MONDAY
JANUARY 8 2018

Reception stuck the hotel receipt under the door at 2AM and woke me up. I thought somebody was trying to break in! So I could not sleep after that.

I took a shower.

Hubby got up at 7AM. He took a shower.

We ate breakfast. It was not as well put out as the other Wyndham Hotels. Some crazy lady that kept talking on her phone and a cute little girl with her mother was there.

Checked out, left keys at front desk.

Drove to Starbucks to get drinks. Order was wrong. No vanilla flavor again, had to drive around and have them re-make drinks.

My drink was hot and hubby's was lukewarm.

Drove to Henderson Harley Dealer. Hubby talked to a salesman about new bikes and I talked to Maria, she was pregnant front desk clerk. She was very nice.

Henderson Harley Davidson

 

Purchased another poker chip for KR and a bike chain bracelet for me.

Las Vegas Harley Davidson

Drove to Harley Davidson dealer in Las Vegas and picked up another poker chip for KR. They were rude at this place. Salesman walked away with new 115th Anniversary Denim bike that hubby was looking over.

 Poker Chips for KR

Ate at In-N-Out Burger. It was pretty good.

In-N-Out Burger

We drove around trying to find a hotel. All of them were too expensive and charged "Resort Fee". We finally drove out to Henderson again to stay there, but they were charging $160 a night. So we thought if we were going to be THAT far from Enterprise drop off tomorrow, that we would pay the higher fee for a room and be closer.

Ended up at Arizona Charlie's. It was smoked filled and gross. Old place. Old carpet. Stank. We ate dinner at the buffet and it was not worth it. Gross food.

Went to the room and found ash trays everywhere!

I took a shower.

Tried to sleep, but I woke up with a headache at 5AM. We dressed and got out of there.

SUNDAY JANUARY 7

SUNDAY
JANUARY 7

Got up at 7AM, checked out of Virgin Valley hotel room.

Leaving the Virgin River Hotel

Ate breakfast at the Virgin River cafe again. Played Keno & lost again. Both of us got the Deuces breakfast special.

Drove around to see the area. Trying to find a shop for hubby to store vehicles & do work.

Got a tape measure at Ace Hardware. I purchased hand cream. Hubby was inside FOREVER trying to have the clerk ring him up. She was quite confused about how to run the cash register.

Drove to Sun City Del Webb to measure the inside of the home.

Hubby drove around for a while trying to find buildings to rent. He found some guys that were working on a dune buggy and talked to them.

Then we drove over on Riverside to talk with the owner of the building over there. He was talking to him for over an hour.

KR called while I was waiting for hubby. She was at our house, cleaning up and feeding kitties. Kitties had torn open all the cabinet doors, torn the paper towels down and made a mess, and broken a plate.

The house smelled of propane, so hubby had her turn off the propane knob under the fireplace.

KR cleaned up all the kitty litter, but forgot the bag in the laundryroom. She also did not pick up the mail, but did pick up a UPS box that was delivered.

We left Mesquite and drove to Vegas.

Stopped at Red Rock Harley to get hubby a t-shirt & picked up another poker chip for KR.

 Harley Davidson

Drove to the Hoover Dam looking for a room. Looked at all the changes at Boulder City. It was getting dark, raining, and late. Tried to find a hotel. Too expensive at some of the places and they wanted to charge a "resort fee".

We stayed at Wyndham Hotel in Henderson, Nevada. It was a long ways out of Vegas. Tried to go up to 3rd floor room after hubby dropped me off, but there was a yappy dog across the hallway and I did not even open the door.  Went down to reception and asked for another room.

Changed to first floor. It was pretty quiet.

We did our laundry and then went out to Famous Dave's to eat. Hubby was quite excited to have me eat there. It was ok. Not great. Cornbread was pretty good.

Famous Dave's

 

Back to hotel. Watched Get Smart and went to bed.

SATURDAY JANUARY 6

SATURDAY
JANUARY 6 2018

Up at 8AM after horrible sleeping night.

Neighbors finally turned off the tv at 1AM.

We went to breakfast. Lots of people down there. Hubby had yogurt and I had eggs. No coffee as they were all out. A sister-wife with long hair fish tail braided was filling the breakfast buffet. She seemed to not be assured of what she was doing. Maybe inexperienced or scared?

We checked out and found GREAT coffee in LaVerkin which was the small town right next to Hurrikin (that is the way they pronounce Hurricane).

The drive thru at Coffee Roasters Company had 8 cars in line at all times. You drove thru one side and ordered, then drove to the other window on the other side to pick up your drink.

Hubby and I stopped at the grocery store across the street and picked up sandwiches for lunch and a cherry fritter.

Saw a black feral kitty at the side of the store with workers. They said it had been there for 5 years and nobody could even pet it for 2 years. It was still really scared and feral now.

Picked up gloves for both of us at Walmart. Considered getting a hat because of the cold, but hubby said there would be helmets.

Drove to UTV rental, Eileen got us signed up. Got goggles and bandanas, but no helmets. It was cold outside and traveling without a windshield or side doors made it colder.

Phil went over the logistics of driving the vehicle with hubby.

We went out on the 3 hour tour. Lots of stops, pretty scenery, pics. Met some other guys. Hubby dusted me with red sand.

 UTV in Desert

 Hubby Looking at Sand Hollow Reservoir

Back at 3M. Got colder & started to rain.

I changed clothes at the resort.

We drove to St George and got lattes at Starbucks.

Drove to Mesquite. Checked in at Virgin River Resort. We had building 5 with Room 304 this time. The price was higher because of the weekend.

Walked across the street to the Eureka Casino Resort.

Ate dinner at Gregory's I had steak & lobster. Hubby had steak & shrimp.

 Steak & Lobster

 

Steak & Shrimp

 

 Chocolate Mousse Dessert

Walked back to the hotel. I fell asleep right away.

Hubby surfed the web until 10PM.

FRIDAY JANUARY 5

FRIDAY
JANUARY 5 2018

Got up at 7AM because we could not sleep anymore with the FAN on in the room all night.

Hubby took a shower.

We had free breakfast which was very nice. Very extensive breakfast offering. I had sausage, egg, cheese croissant. Hubby had sausage, gravy & biscuits. We shared waffles.

Hubby ate too much so he had tummy problems. Fell asleep on the chair in the room watching automotive shows on the TV.

A diesel truck started just outside the room and poured diesel smell into the room. We decided to leave right away.

We checked out. Fed our leftover breakfast to some birds that were hanging in the parking lot.

Drove around to the other side of St George; picked up lattes at Perks Coffee. They turned out to be really bad. Nobody down here knows how to do good coffee.

We toured the Pioneer Museum, which was just a huge building that was once the courthouse in town.

Returned the Rent-A-Junk Jeep Cherokee to the Airport Location. They were really nice. We got a GMC Acadia instead.

I had to get my nails & toes done as they were too scummy. Drove to Nails Inc on Sunset Blvd and had Jessica do them. She was nice. I left a tip. They charged me too much. She took over 2 hours. That was way TOO long.

Hubby was nicely waiting for me when I got out.

We went over to Starbucks and got drinks. We had to return and have them do the drinks over as there was not enough flavor in either drink.

We drove to Hurricane and visited Sand Hollow State Park. Reserved a UTV with Eileen at Rent Utah Toys.

Not Good Coffee :(

 View from Sand Hollow Resort

Picked up a poker chip at the Hurricane Harley Dealer.

Tried to rent a room at the Resort, but they were too expensive at $160 for one night!

Went in to Hurricane and got a room at the Wyndham Hotel. Room 416.

Was recommended by the front desk clerk, Marco to eat at Lupita's Mexican Restaurant, so we drove there. Lupitas was ok. Not great. They did not have guacamole. Disappointing. Looked at a building right next to there to rent. No phone number on building.

Drove to Walmart to purchase shoes, jacket for me, soap to wash clothes at the hotel.

Came back to the room at the Wyndham. Tried to print floor plan, but printer would not work. Even Marco could not figure out the problem.

Got cookies & cocoa and took them to the room.

Went to bed at 11PM.

Noisy neighbors listening to their loud tv until 12:30AM. We called to complain twice, but the front desk would not call or come up to their room.

I called the front desk and told them I would call the police for disturbance of the peace if those people did not turn off the tv.

THURSDAY JANUARY 4

THURSDAY
JANUARY 4 2018

Got up at 5AM to shower because of cramps. Asked hubby to shut off the noisy heater in the room. Blanket made the bed very warm.


Woke up at 7:25AM. Hubby showered and we dressed.

Checked out of Virgin River Hotel.

Had breakfast at the Virgin River Cafe. I had Deuces Special while hubby had the Ham Streak special. We played and lost Keno while waiting.

 Ham Steak Special

 Deuces Special (2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 sausage, 2 bacon for $3.99)

 Future Owners!

Picked up gross Starbucks at the Casino.

Drove to look at the available Lot for the house.

I had diarrhea from all the crap food and hubby had to drive me back to the gas station in town. However, they were cleaning and I then had to run over to Taco Time to potty.

Back to the Sales Office at 11AM. Toured the homes again and waited for the sales woman, Barbara. She came to meet us while we were sitting on the sofa at the Haven. We discussed options and she showed us the different things available. Cannot raise the counters. Cannot get the taller opening for the garage.

Barbara drove us thru the models that were being built to give us a better idea of the options available. We came back after picking out colors & looking at other homes.

Signed Documents and left.

Drove to St George and checked into the Wyndham Hotel; got a Suite.

Ordered Calzones from Brick Oven Pizza because we were so tired and did not want to go out. After being assured that it was not too late to order or deliver, we were offered plates, napkins, and silverware. But when the food was delivered, there was no sauce or cheese on the calzone. Hubby called and complained, but they were not willing to do anything to fix it.

Went to bed with noisy, vibrating heaters going that COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF!

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 3RD

WEDNESDAY
JANUARY 3 2018

Up at 8AM. Dressed, hubby showered. Really STRONG shower head.

 Virgin River Hotel Casino

Got coffee at Cups of Coffee to Go. Yuck. In the smoky casino. Gross coffee. Burnt my tongue. Lava Hot.

Drove to Sun City. Talked to Michelle, the Receptionist.She lives and works there. I asked her questions about pets & HOA.

Barbara was our salesperson. Couldn't answer questions. Kinda ditzy. Vague on options, costs, and home questions.

We looked around Model Homes by ourselves. Decided on Haven. The other home was too large at over 2000 feet.

Went to lunch at the 1880 Grille at the Golf Club House. They gave us a certificate for 10% off lunch. Whoopie.

Hubby Eating at 1880 Grille

Went back at 1:45PM to look at home sites available.

Sales office was closing at 3PM to have a group end of year dinner in St George, so Barbara had to leave. She dropped us off at the Sales Office.

We walked to potty at the nearby small golf course, walked over to the Community Center to look around. Saw pools, exercise room, library.

Wide Roads

 

Went back to the car and drove to get coffee & snacks at gas station. I called TDS, the Internet provider for the area to get costs. They said 60mbps for $50/mo.

Hubby had to go look at the Airport, so we drove there. Very pretty sunset.

Drove by a home with a massive amount of Xmas lights.

Went back to Walmart to purchase a blanket for the hotel room and a knife for hubby.

Back to the hotel. Parking lot was FULL. Had to park on back of building.

Watched TV. Discussed house. Headaches.

Hubby had snacks. We put the new blanket on the bed. Full of static electricity.

Went to bed.

TUESDAY JANUARY 2

TUESDAY
JANUARY 2

Up at 5:30AM to wash my hair.

Packed and loaded dogs in Dodge truck. When hubby backed it out, it got stuck (2WD) in the snow. I went inside to get the keys for the Jeep and by that time, he had gotten it unstuck.

Drove to KR's. Ben got loose and ran off. Then Beebo & Wilson almost got out of the house because KR did not shut the door behind her as she came out of the garage. I ran off to find Ben and he came running. We took him inside.

Hubby drove to the shop in the Dodge so that he could get stuff going for this morning. I rode in KR's Jeep with her to pick up hubby.

We picked up hubby after he parked the Dodge at the Post Falls shop.

KR gave me a Birthday card.

KR drove us to the Spokane Airport. and we unloaded. I had forgotten to check in 24 hours before the flight; so I had to check in on Southwest Airline App on the drive to the Airport. At the drop off, KR pulled over. We got our bags out. We said goodbye to her and hugged.

 Tickets on Southwest

We had 1.5 hours to wait for the plane. Got thru TSA, who were very friendly. Not like we thought it was going to be...

TSA guy told kid going thru the line who asked what to do with his water. "Last time I check, water was still a liquid." That was SO funny to us.

We got Starbucks and sat for a while there. People watched. Lots of people just abandoning their bags. Then we decided to go wait on the Concourse.

We were the last to load. Had to sit separately. Hubby in the back of the plane. Me at Emergency Exit with a young couple.

The young couple mostly ignored me. The girl was on her Facebook, Texting on her iPhone, AND watching a downloaded Reality Show on her iPad!

Almost Cruising Altitude

It was a very bumpy flight the whole way. Then the pilot dropped us like a ROCK when landing in Vegas. The plane came in way too fast.

Had to wait for hubby to get off the plane as he was the last one off! He had to get my bag as the only place to store it had been in the back of the plane several rows behind where I was sitting. I exchanged conversation with a woman that was waiting for her daughters to get off the plane!

We got on the Tram to the outside of the Airport in a Mall area. Both of us had to use the restrooms right away. Then we got a Taxi in the Taxi line. Had to take #17 because some big guy outside was directing them. The taxi was old, stank, and the driver spoke no english what-so-ever. 15 minute ride was over $40.

At Enterprise we got great service from Curtis.

Rent-A-Wreck from Enterprise

But the Jeep Cherokee we got was pig-slow and a surging piece of crap. Hubby would have his foot to the floor and it would not accelerate. Dangerous in heavy congested traffic.

Ate at Chik-Fil-A just a few blocks from Enterprise. Food was very good. Sat outside because it was very busy there.

Chick-Fil-A 

 

Drove to Mesquite. Long drive with the rent-a-wreck surging the whole way.

Arrived in Mesquite and checked into the Virgin River Hotel. Smokey. Nice kid checked us into our room on the 4th Building, Room 308.

Cheap $27 rooms. Double Queen beds. Only a thin paper-thick blanket between 2 sheets. Odd.

We drove around the town getting familiar with the area. Got gasoline. Went to Walmart for apples, oranges, and snacks.

 Our First Sight of New Subdivision

I was exhausted. So we went back to our room. Too cold. Thin blanket. I slept in my clothes for warmth.

Took a hot shower at 5AM because of cramps.

JANUARY 1 2018

WELCOME TO 2018

Another year.

Got up at 7AM to let Wilson outside. We are monitoring him because he escapes out the fence.

I gave tuna to the kitties.

Made lattes.

Hubby made eggs for the dogs.

Did laundry & dishes.

Did Invoices for RMOR.

Left for Spokane.

Drove to DaVi Nails in Walmart. They were too busy to wait on New Year's Day. So we picked up cat litter boxes, more cat litter, tiny shampoo & conditioner bottles.

Drove to Spokane Valley and had drinks at a restaurant. They had bad service and the building stank. We left. Drove to Dave's Bar and ate there. It was good. Great service.

Drove home.

Watched TV. Got ready for trip. Packed.

Watched new episodes of Lovesick. Went to bed at 10:30PM.
