Another warm and sunny day, again climbing to 25°C. Today was the first windy day we have had since arriving, it was strong enough to force us to take in the awning.
Today was laundry day again for Lyn, and propane gas day for the trailer. At this resort the gas is delivered from a tanker by an outside contractor. This makes life easier as everything is done on site.
I finally got all the planning done for this trip; all the campsites are finally booked, one slight change had to be made. The trip from Vegas to California was right on our self set limit for one day of travel while towing the trailer. The Vegas site I finally booked was close to the Hoover Dam, on the east side of the city and added a further 25 miles to the trip. Given the last 75 miles or so of that trip is over hilly windy roads I decided to split it in two.
After lunch we headed out to do the weekly shopping, the store is only about a mile away which is convenient. After we unpacked the groceries we headed out for our walk around the resort.
Now this trip is finally planned, it is time to continue working on Alaska! After talking to the travel agent we found out it was best to take a coach from Whittier (where the boat docks) to Anchorage, as car rental from Whittier and returning it to Anchorage is not cheap! I also found out that if we hire a car from Anchorage Airport they charge an additional 11.5% on the base rate plus an additional $6.50 per day of rental. These (scam)charges are imposed to pay for the new car rental centre recently built at the airport. I think $15 for a cab fare to the downtown office will be a good investment.
I forgot to mention yesterday that we got some good news…… originally we were going to have to change to a different site on Sunday, fortunately (for us) there was a cancellation and the office staff were able to juggle things around and keep us on this site.
