Gone to Congress--Arizona, That Is

We had a good time in Mexico, but it is good to be back in the USA.  We had a good week with family, did some snorkeling and spent time in the pool and lots of time just relaxing.  The airport security lines were pretty long, but since we booked MVP Gold tickets, we were all able to use the expedited line.  At check in, every checked bag was searched manually!

We arrived early to LAX and took a limo back to Anaheim, where we threw stuff in the pickup and headed East towards Arizona.  But first, we had to stop to pick up a new iPhone 4 for Neil, since his iPhone 3GS died in Mexico.  He was just past the upgrade date, so he splurged on a iPhone 4 32GB version at an AT&T store in Anaheim.  We drove that evening to La Quinta, near Palm Springs and overnighted.  Neil was able to log on to the free internet and synch his new phone to the laptop and successfully brought everything from the old phone over--including his Scotland the Brave ringtone.  It is nice when technology actually works as intended.

Today (Sunday) we drove from La Quinta to Quartzite where we met our Juneau neighbors Jim and Judy and looked at their new pickup camper.  It is a Tiger made by ProVan, and is on a Chevy 3500 chassis.  It is 4WD and has the high road clearance that they wanted.  A big step up from their VW Westfalia camper.  We didn't stay long there, but did see the waning hours of the Quartzite RV Show in the big tent.  WOW!  One could spend a lot of time and money there, but we only bought two LED lights for the Fiver and then headed to Desert Gold RV Park in Brenda to pick up the Fiver and head east to Congress, Arizona.  It is near Wickenburg, and is where the Escapees RV Club is having their RV Boot Camp.  We got here just in time to get checked in and set up before dark.  The sessions start tomorrow afternoon, and we are looking forward to learning more from the RV experts.

We hope to post more frequent blogs with photos and lessons learned once we settle in here.  Thanks for visiting,

Neil and Pamela
