Day 10 Dave is a driving machine! If anyone could handle the insanity that is I-10 going into LA it is him! We hung around until 8:30 thinking the worst of the ingoing LA traffic would calm down. I am sure it did but still not enough for any reasonable person to make that commute every day. The 57 mile drive to our MH storage place took a little over 2 hours! There were lots of stopping and starting and a couple accidents along the way. Thankfully not us! Dave manuevered the bulky MH in and out of lanes like he was navigating Blue Moon on the lake! I gotta give him major accolades for the drive out here thru some nasty downpours and road construction and heavy traffic among areas that we have never been in. Oh, and the GPS of course! The best invention and marriage saver ever!
We arrived at the little storage place to house the MH while we are on Phase 2 of this journey, the National Geographic Baha, Mexico cruise. It was very hard to find somehwhere in LA to store the MH and after calling easily 10 places we found a place near the airport where we could leave it. We arrived there, did the paper work, paid for a month, even though we only need it 11 days and got an uber ride to the hotel where we are staying tonight. While checking in Dave asked if we could have parked the MH there while we were away? “Sure!” they said. I never thought to ask the hotel when I was looking for a storage place! dumb-dumb-dumb! it would have been easier and cheaper! And we get back here next Saturday around 4 and the storage place closes @ 6 until Monday morning! That means if our flight is delayed we might not get to pick up the MH and get out of here until Monday morning. Ok being stuck in LA for a day isn’t the end of the world but I know by next Saturday we will both be itching to head East! I guess any trip has it’s little snafu but I hope to hell we get back here in time to get on the road next Saturday evening!
Will try to post from the ship but not sure about internet connection.
