DEC 15, 22 .. MOVING DAY .. JUST WHAT WE DIDN’T NEED !! BUT WHAT WE WANTED !!

I am writing this Post in the late evening of ..

Wednesday, December 15th

When we arrived last Sunday at Motel 6 here on West Bell Road in Phoenix, Arizona, we had requested a handicapped room with two beds. This is NOT the “high tourist season” here in Phoenix, so we “assumed” we would get our request. 

Assume .. Assumpions will make an Ass out of u and me .. We did NOT get what we requested. To make matters worse, our room door lock did not work but the interior safety latch worked so we weren’t worried about out safety. Monday morning the door lock was fixed BUT there were NO handicapped rooms available  (no one had checked out). Tuesday was Patti’s procedure day at the Mayo Clinic and we stayed put in our room. 

Beginning Sunday when we arrived, and Monday, and yes even on Tuesday after we returned from the Mayo Clinic, I have been asking both the front desk staff and also the shift managers (morning, afternoon, and evening) about moving into a handicapped room.

Today (Wednesday) about 10AM this morning, the manager said .. “We have the exact room you hoped for. You can move into your new room after our staff have finished cleaning it.”

OUR NEW ROOM

We have stayed in Room 103 several times previously. Once for a full month.

Our Chevrolet Dealer (you can see it through the window of our room below) is directly across the street. This is a real benefit because I can drop our truck off for servicing and simply walk back across the street to our Motel 6. I stay in touch via post cards with my Service Advisor and have gotten to know (and to trust) him.

Our restroom facilities.

WHAT A JOB IT IS TO MOVE !!

All in all, it took about two hours to get our things from one room to another. Yes, the two rooms were “relatively” close to one another BUT none of our items could move themselves !

Amazing huh ? Unbelievable is what it is !

This (Wednesday) evening we watched the three (3) hour season final episode of Survivor. We totally enjoyed the finale.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15th (aka today)

Our truck is being serviced. We took it to the (above) Chevrolet Dealer last Tuesday after Patti’s Mayo Clinic procedures. Yesterday our Service Advisor told me what it needs and that they can’t get the parts and have it done in one day.

So today (Thursday) at 1PM we will be renting a car to get around because Patti has a Mayo Clinic appointment at 4:40PM we can’t miss and we then will go to a favorite meeting afterwards. Our truck is a 1998 and procuring parts can be an issue, even for a dealer. We also have a very full Friday planned so can’t be without wheels.

Still Smiling and Still Standing.
