Tony helped Helen with hers. It helped that we didn't have any starters or any dessert.

I don't know what size of unit you have Nora but if it is a longer one you may have a little trouble getting in, especially if you have a long overhang. Best to park at the top of the hill at the entrance and then walk down to reception and talk to them and walk the road first just to make sure you don't have any issues. They do have another entrance to use if you do have a longer unit though.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-61389758377350550182017-02-16T03:07:35.339-05:002017-02-16T03:07:35.339-05:00We will! :-)We will! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-72617202834576059812017-02-16T03:07:18.614-05:002017-02-16T03:07:18.614-05:00Way more interesting taking the slow road, so glad...Way more interesting taking the slow road, so glad we aren't the only ones that thing this way. :-)<br /><br />The RV spot isn't more expensive than the room.

We have a 5th wheel spent one winter in south Texas and summer in New Mexico. I would be heading to Mexico tomorrow if I could get the wife south bound ha ha. The reason I said for Keven after reading Crofts blog and yours quite a difference between your views regarding Canada. I do enjoy Canada very much wouldn't want to live there but do enjoy your country. I am a retired Airlines employee and have been all over the world love seeing all different places. Everyone has a opinion about American which they have a right to I just do not like us all grouped in one basket.
