We had a pretty lazy morning...other than doing our resistance exercises, that is.  It was after 11:00 by the time we headed outside.  Steve put away the barbeque and table and then we hitched up the trailer to the truck.  Well at least that is done...there will still be lots to do tomorrow morning before we grab the cab to the airport.  Oh yeah...I also called the cab company to pick us up at 11:00 tomorrow morning.

Shortly after noon we put our bathing suits on and headed over to the pool.  It was another beautiful day...might as well take advantage of it.  Another repeat of yesterday...no need to take pictures again.

I decided that I had had enough at about 2:30 and decided to head back to the trailer...Steve wanted just a few more minutes in the sunshine.  I was getting anxious...still had to pack the suitcases.

It was 4:00 when I had the suitcases all packed...all but the last minute stuff tomorrow morning.  We are more than likely taking way too much...but, hey...I just might want to wear this or that!!  While I was packing, Steve was doing a little precautionary work...we had heard last year that spiders don’t like ‘Bounce’ dryer sheets...so he was replacing the old sheets with new sheets in each cupboard...he also got a mouse trap out and set it up in the kitchen...just in case!  Our rig will be stored here in the desert for the 2 weeks we are gone...we must take all necessary precautions!

So, since we are leaving tomorrow morning, I will sign off for 2 weeks....we return to this RV resort late afternoon of December 3^rd.   We made a big decision yesterday...since we will be flying home to Victoria two weeks after we get back from Cabo, we have decided to stay put in this RV resort for a month (Dec 3—Jan 3).  Although the sites themselves are nothing to look at, the resort is nice with great amenities and is handy to the Phoenix area.

We will be back in 2 weeks...stay tuned for a review of our vacation in Cabo...and pictures!

As I mentioned yesterday, today is laundry day...and there was a mountain of it!  Steve loaded the 4 big bags of laundry onto the back of the truck...he is going to drop me off at the laundry room on his way to fill up one of the propane tanks. 

The laundry room has six double-load washing machines and dryers.  The other day when we checked it out, there was no one using them...but not so today!  All six machines were in use when I arrived...figures!  I tucked my bags of laundry in a corner and wandered outside and over to the clubhouse.  I returned to the laundry room just in time...another lady had arrived with her laundry and was about to butt in front of me...she wasn’t very happy when she saw me return!

It’s one thing waiting for a washing machine but the dryers are totally different because the time required to dry the clothes really varies...so that means, I’m finished with a washer...but now have to wait for a dryer...sheesh!  Consequently, the laundry seemed to take forever...

Once a couple of bags of clean laundry were ready, Steve carried them back to the trailer and returned wearing his bathing suit.  He brought me a bottle of water and then continued to the pool. 

Once the last of the laundry was done, I walked it back to the trailer and quickly changed into my suit.  I am going to join Steve at the pool...ahh...beautiful!

That's Steve sunning on the lounge chair...

After about an hour, our stomachs started to growl...so we headed home for lunch.   Also time to put the clean laundry away.  We made a quick trip back to Target to pick up the missing items from yesterdays shopping trip....and that was basically it for the day.

Tomorrow we want to spend some more time by the pool but first of all we will have to get our suitcases packed...and things all lined up in the 5^th wheel before we put it into storage on Saturday morning.
