tuesday
february 6 2018

Get up at 4AM.

Dressed and loaded bags into Dodg.e

Drove to Rathdrum and mailed letters for 1099s & Harley payment.

Drove to Post Falls so that hubby could drop off money at shop for them to deposit while we are gone.

Arrived at Long Term Parking at Airport.

Parked in handicapped spot; hubby was happy to get it.

I put on my sandals. Left my boots in the Dodge. It was freezing outside.

Walked to shuttle boarding. It was crowded. Hubby saw Tim from NAPA and talked to him.

We pottied at airport and then went thru TSA; bigger, newer scanners. WAY more agents searching bags.

Waited for plane.

Picked up lattes at Starbucks. Hubby got a sandwich. I got egg bites.

We went to A13 to wait for plane.

Rude guy sat behind me and throwing himself into the seat, almost hit my head. I had to lean forward while sitting in seat.

A35th & A36th to board on plane; we sat in an Emergency Row. Lots of legroom.

Crew were really funny. Said our pilot was Ricky Bobby. Crew took really good care of us. Nice ride, some bumps. Boring. No Wi-Fi. I had water on plane, hubby had OJ.

Arrived at airport, deplaned and pottied right away.

Walked outside to get our UBER. Walked to 2M Level outside across the bridge. Rude people Queueing and blocking the way for others. I told them to MOVE!

Abraham arrived perfectly on time, got us to Enterprise Rental.

Picked up car Toyota Corolla. Yuck. Very small car but only $36 a day. 

Hubby was going to purchase insurance when he was told it was $50, but it ended up being $50 A DAY, so hubby canceled it.

We picked up lattes at Starbucks and ate at Chick-Fil-A.

Drove to Walmart and got white socks for hubby. He wanted to take off his boots & wear his sandals. I tried getting lip balm, but could not find any in the security section of makeup. Some security guard was following some girls around that were trying to steal things.

We went over to Skechers, but found no sandals for me.

Got more Starbucks.

Drove to IKEA and walked around there for over 2 hours. Could not get out of store! It was a crazy maze. Got some great ideas for new home and bought a can for utensils with a couple of spatulas.

Our IKEA Adventure

Got an ice cream cone, but no cinnamon rolls because the fresh smell that assailed our nostrils when we were checking out became overwhelming. Cinnamon rolls were still in the oven!

Drove to Hotel, Checked in at Best Western. Got cookies instead. Walked down to the quick-mart right next door to get milk.

Both of us took naps. We were exhausted after walking so much.

I took a shower and then we went out to eat at Metro Pizza at 7PM. It was 50% off entire ticket. Ate pizza for $9.95.

Saw a tortoise shell kitty at the shopping center behind the pizza place.

Got gasoline at Albertson's across the street.

Drove back to hotel.

Watched TV. Went to bed.

Flashing fire alarm and loud A/C unit kept me awake for a long time. I went to the other bed to sleep. Noisy truck running outside.
