So yesterday I failed as a blogger, but this was all J's fault since she left me with Barb & Lydia when she went out with her friends Raj & Robert (and their son Rafael).  Earlier in the evening she did take Bados & I to their house which had a nice backyard.  We got to stretch our legs & romp, but then she dumped us back at the hotel to be babysat by Barb & Lydia.  Fine.  I dissed J in the car today & did not sit in her lap when she was in the back seat.

We had started yesterday morning leaving Gettysburg around 0830.  Our departure was slightly delayed by a disagreement with the hotel over $100 charges for 3 towels used by Barb & Lydia to dry their dogs (& themselves) after they got muddy in the rain.  Geez.  This was ridiculous because they had been responsible by washing them outside & not in a hotel tub AND they had gotten rags from housekeeping to wash Rio, Gilbert, & Mini.  They had used the towels in question to wash themselves.  Ultimately they agreed to refund $50 dollars, but it is still bull poop.  Barb plans to continue to fight this, but yesterday morning we just wanted to get moving.

Ivanetta gave us some grief getting onto I-70.  She did not direct us the same route as we had come in.  Passing through Hagarstown, MD, we kept missing turns because they did not have both highway and local street names posted on the street signs and Ivanetta only gave highway numbers.  J was getting testy by the time we hit interstate.

Driving to Louisville was uneventful and the countryside was lovely.  The hotel that Raj had recommended was great and had lots of grass for them to walk us.  J spent the night at her friend's house & came back for us (and Barb & Lydia) in the morning.  The drive to Salina today was also uneventful, but the hotel is a bit shabby.  Lydia is watching TV, and Barb is trying to finalize details of her return to Phoenix.  Rio, Mini, & Gilbert are sleeping; Bados is fighting sleep as he gazes adoringly at J; he's such a goof.

Well.  Internet access sucks here.  I need to free up some band-width for Barb.  Goodnight!
