Back to Bay Area

Next we headed up to Seattle to drop of the motorhome at the repair shop and fly back to the Bay Area.

Our arrangements to have some warrantee work done on the motor home fell through the day of the appointment (long frustrating story, I’m sure you are not interested). This meant we had to find a place to store the motor home at 3:30pm the night before we had to leave for Oakland. Not an easy task. Bottom line, we found a place to keep the motor home, but it had no electrical hook-ups. In fact, it was pretty close to being a junk yard located directly under the flight path of the airport!! So that awesome fresh salmon we had – GONE!!!!!! We either had to throw it away (complete waste), or give it away. We chose to give it away. We never even got to enjoy it!!! That and we didn’t get a wink of sleep thanks to the jumbo jets passing 2 feet over our heads every 5 minutes.

Next, we flew back to the Bay Area for Darren to have the second part of his sleep apnea surgery. This surgery was a piece of cake compared to the first part. Darren was eating the next day!! We spent 5 days in the Bay Area taking care of this and various other medical stuff we had prearranged. Darren even had a chance to let the guys take advantage of his drug induced stupor in a poker game. Must be that, cause he actually lost. The visit was quick, but we were able to see most everyone. If only for a short time. Thanks for being such great hosts Jeff and Alex.
