R & R

We weren't feeling too sharp this morning but we managed to take the shuttle to pick up our car at the airport. I got a cheaper rate and unlimited mileage (hard to come by in Whitefish) by booking through Hotwire: Malibu with a sunroof, Sirius radio, leather seats and a few other features for $29.95/day, more expensive than we pay in Florida and $7.00.day more than it would have cost if I'd waited a week longer to book the car. Oh well, it's still better than limited miles and $42/day, the rate quoted for the same car at the Amtrak location.

Bob likes his Impala
The beautiful Glacier International Airport reminded me of the airport in London, Ontario, except that it seems very new. We can drop off the car at Amtrak when we leave for home (Bob's idea) so I think we're in good shape.

Spent the warmest part of the afternoon in the pool, where I'd be quite happy to spend the next week. It must have been built in the golden age of hotel pools when they were long and wide and 8 feet deep. My kind of fun.

About Me

My photo
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.
