So we struck out shopping yesterday but we had fun doing it with
the help of our outdated GPS.  The exciting part of the day
was driving back to Ak Chin through a Haboob.  Once we
arrived at the Valet, the monsoon hit and the Hotel and
property lost power for 45 minutes.  Luckily it was late
in the day as the heat climbed up VERY quickly.



This was a fun experience.  

Their grill blew up so the snack bar was limited and people
left the place to get fed.  Rooms were not accessible until
the power was restored.  So, anyone who had food in their
fridges were unable to get at it.

Our evening wrapped up at midnight as we ventured our
gaming day with a mix of slots, an electronic roulette,
and then finishing off with Big Times Poker.  

I lost $160 for the day and James lost $100.  Not bad
for the whole day and we are participating in the
Great Race to Rewards.

Today is pool day for us.  I just completed a horrid
cup of Hotel coffee and a store bought chocolaate
chip cookie.  Ooooh ick!

Good morning Phoenix and AK CHIN!



The handicapped room they gave us is HUGE.
I asked for a shower chair which they brought
around quickly.  The shower itself will
accommodate a party of twelve.   



Yesterday was an incredible travel day thanks to the
great help from Southwest staffers.  James and I
could not have asked for a smoother one.

We are off to shop today at Beall's Outlets then
get in some gaming and therapy for me (any
kind of walking).  

Humidity is 60 percent today with a chance of\
storms which is typical for this time of year.

Off we go to enjoy our first day of many!
