Frayed Tempers

Bob got the idea of staying in Kalispell for our second to last night in Montana, so that we'd have easy access to Flathead lake for a day trip tomorrow. I, on the other hand, thought I'd rather see if we could add a night to our already booked reservation for tomorrow night. We'd been unable to book last week's Pine Lodge this weekend, and there'd been no cancellations when we stopped by to check. On to Best Western Rocky Mountain Lodge, where I'd booked a room for Saturday night. I was NOT impressed, and had no interest in staying one night, let alone two.

After a couple of phone calls (no luck finding a room), we booked Red Lion Inn, located in a shopping mall in Kalispell. It's central, but that's all you can say for it. I swear I smell old smoke in this place but no matter. It's a place to rest up but we were sniping at each other a little as we lugged our stuff into the room.

I immediately go on the Internet, determined to find a better place than the Best Western for tomorrow. No time to shop around, because I had to cancel BW by 6:00 p.m., so I took the first "good" reservation I could find at Grouse Mountain Lodge. An Expedia booking. Looks good to me.

Bob is resting and I'm dealing with my pictures, not many today. I think we're both a little tired and ready to go home.

About Me

The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
