So Four Became Two

I have to say that our last day with Ann & Rod as they left to go home to the UK was quite emotional after 3 such amazing weeks together. The only shame was that the weather could not have been a little better when we wanted to have the bit of R&R in the sun, but that was not much anyway.

I guess that you are actually back home now as I write this so we hope it was a great flight for you both.

so its bye bye from them , and it's hello navigator---

 

So after dropping them at the airport we then had to take the car to the Hertz rental to swap it.

 

Apparently they are not allowed to do a continuous rental over 60 days, so as our booking agent knew that we had to drop the others at Denver airport then this would be a good time to do the swap.

The trouble is that in doing so , we incurred two drop off costs which was around the 500 dollars instead of one. so after much work done on sorting out the paperwork I went and had a chat with the manager and asked if she had ever seen someone being charged twice for a single hire and this followed with her agreeing to only charge 90 dollars for the extra driver---not the 13 dollars a day that they originally stated -- which would have been over 700 dollars-- so quite a result

 

Now just got to sort the car out, as the Ford Edge we had been using had to , have an oil change due to the mile we had put on -- 3,387 so far --they gave us a Cheve Emblem, which inside is more cramped, the engine is noisy, the dash lights dim every now and then and it has done 42,000 miles-- we are going to see about changing this for something better in either Kansas or Dallas.

 

So then -- where are we now you might ask -- well I took this at 08.15, at least I think it is but my laptop says 07.15 -- from out hotel room in the Holiday Inn in Goodman, Kansas, big farming area - and 50miles further on than my target of getting to Burlington-- so Lynda and I are well on our way to being in Dodge City, by tonight.

 

 

We got there at around 8pm so we treated ourselves to a McDonalds meal--in bed by 9pm knackered.

 

So I guess that this is phase 2 for Lynda and I and the real test of our relationship starts now but I am not worried because you don't go through every demand that we have managed in our lives together without the strength to handle the longest time every together continuously, without work coming in between us as it has over the years---- anyway its not a test , it is joy to have this amount of time together with the woman I love.

 

That's enough of that---need to get on and get breakfast and get on the road again, so until next time folks, via condeos.
