When I left you last, we'd sorted our sightseeing day in Chicago and were turning our attention to Los Angeles. Well, we have that pretty much sorted, though we've yet to sort out when we'll meet Dean & Carol and we've also logged our must do's for our spare days in Springfield, Illinois and Santa Fe.
The admin side, i.e. our ESTA, has been sorted and I finally managed to book our room at the Cactus Inn, in McLean, Texas. You may recall the Cactus Inn were proving difficult to get hold of previously and when I finally got a response from them, they said to wait until August to book. Well, after another email and Facebook message, in July, for which I got the standard silence, I decided to bite the bullet and call them. I think the woman who answered the phone was a bit thrown by my accent (she sounded just like Sheldon Cooper's mum from The Big Bang Theory) but it could have just been the delay on the phone. Let's just say it wasn't a free flowing conversation. Booking though was as easy as mom's apple pie! I gave her my dates and with an "awl righdee", it was booked.......I hope. We'll find out soon enough, as we're due in town 9th September.
Now, it's just a case of double checking I have all the paperwork sorted, getting the route maps downloaded to my TomTom, preparing what we want/need to take with us and making sure we don't have any last minute panics.
No Problemo!
That's all for now.
