Kit and Carol on the Road

Today was the day of the "rent a wreck". Never come to Tucson in February and expect to get a hotel room or rental car. Gem show week everything doubles in price. We managed to track down a local company that would rent us a "not perfect" car. Kit called it the undercover car--it was a dark blue Daewoo. (Ever heard of that one). Dings and scratches we could live with but the interior stunk so badly of cigarette smoke that the 20 minute drive across town about did us in. This afternoon we took it back and luckily got "upgraded" to a silver Dodge Neon with comfortable seats and NO smell. It's still not a perfect car, but...

While we had the first car we went to a foam shop downtown to upgrade our bed. The foam on top of the cushions sagged in the middle and was not good for my back. We'll see how we sleep on the new one tonight.

It rained all day today--not much of a rain but not sit by the pool weather for sure. A good day to deal with upgrades. As our reward--we went out to eat at a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant we discovered 2 years ago. It's still here and thriving.
