Traveling

Yep, we are off again—Michael has this week off and on the spur of the moment I booked us tickets to go home to Montana again.  We are flying out of Houston so are staying in a hotel near the airport in order to make our ridiculously early flight at 6am.  This is a Marriott Courtyard—usually fairly nice hotels as is this particular one—but that car in the parking lot with no wheels, none, no wheels concerns me!!!  When the desk clerk asked me if I wanted a first floor room I said, “no, are you kidding me, with a car in the parking lot with no wheels???”  He didn’t think I was funny—evidently the car lost its wheels in the day time!!! 

Remember the days when purchasing one way tickets was extremely cost prohibitive?  Well, not anymore, that silly rule is gone.  I always check prices on websites such as Expedia.com then book the actual ticket with the airline.  When I went to the United.com website, I could not find the cheaper fare.  Back to Expedia and realized they were flying us to Montana on United and back to Texas on Delta—OK, then, I did the same thing and got the much lower ticket price. 

I had never used Priceline to bid for hotel room prices—Rollie taught me how.  We have a very nice room which usually sells for close to $200—it costs us $54!!  That car with no wheels still concerns me!!

This morning we went over to the island and walked on the beach—we all enjoyed that little stroll.  Back home we did laundry, walked the dogs, etc., leaving about 3:30 for Houston.  Michael is enjoying this big flat screen TV.  He is going to have to get up soon and go walk the dog with me—no way am I going outside by myself!!!  We will be taking some mechanical protection with us!!
