Well we are nearing the end, only a few more days…where did
the time go? And speaking of time, wake up was normal and all that stuff, but
sadly we left late, by an hour. I know not normal for us but we all started
moving a tad late and we had a large amount of things to do for some reason.
But hey, It doesn’t matter there isn’t really much planned for today, we just
want to take it easy as we head off to our next spot.
Eventually we reached the state border, I don’t rightfully
remember which one we went into but I am will to say it was Nevada. Which meant
we also crossed a time zone and thus gained another hour. A little thing about
time changes, you mind understands them, but your body doesn’t…and thus causes
a good amount of trouble when you are traveling. And on that note of
traveling…the Nevada desert gets old after a while, sure there are a good
amount of hills and the small mountains, but come on it’s all dirt and the
small bush. So as you can tell…I was getting fed up with just looking at the
same old same old after a while.
And around lunch, local time, the course of our vacation
hits. We have a tire problem on the RV. One of the rear passenger tires decided
it was to be a pain. So we had to pull out at the next exit and replace the
thing. And as luck is luck, Nevada heat is at our backs….and extremely hot
tires at our fingertips. It was so not a fun experience, but then again it
never is. But it was nice to be done with it and for us to continue on with our
trip.
But as our luck had it, we didn’t have to go that far before
we got off the freeway anyways, this time for a gas stop. It really was sad
that we couldn’t haven at least gotten to the gas station, but apparently our
luck had decided to flee us.
Well I should say our plan was to fill up, but apparently we
dad decided against it given it would have been too difficult to get into it,
so instead we went to a different gas station, a “nearby” Costco. And like
always, once filled up we were off.
Around 1:30 we got to our stop for the day, and no I did not
miss putting in Lunch because we hadn’t had it at this point yet….which meant I
was HUNGRY! Well that was eventually settled, and then mom and dad went off to
fix a tire while me, sister and nana stayed back and settled into our slowly
cooling RV while it was boiling hot outside….why is Las Vegas always hot? Like
over a hundred whenever we come here?
Well anyways it was decided we would brave the heat so we
could go get dinner, thankfully we just had to walk to the nearby casino and
walk through it to get to where we wanted to eat. And then when done with that…I
had to move quickly back to the RV to drop some leftovers off then haul my butt
back into the building, for we had decided to watch a movie.
The movie being the newest Star Trek, was I really quiet
liked. And because of it, I am sitting here thinking about everything I write
and how it would sound with Scotty’s accent. Damn that movie, even it was good.
Tomorrow….oh tomorrow…that is when we should begin our final
trek home. The last several hours until we are back in California, the
mountains, real mountains, and the grand city I have grown up in and still don’t
know what is where. But hey, it’s LA as long as you know what the building
looks like and the general direction, you’re normally good…normally.
Keep your fingers crossed and knocking on that wood, we may
be near the end, but this is when it all comes together. We don’t need another
tire going! And if it does…please make it in cooler weather, I hate the heat
out here…Next post, Home…
