Since this 2 day event was 150+ miles away in Litchfield Park we stayed at My Place Hotel. We had stayed in one of these many years ago and this one was really nice. The customer service was excellent, the room was roomy, the shower head was exhilarating, the bed was super comfortable and they even had a full kitchen. No dishes or cookware but a refrigerator with a slow making ice machine so we had to buys bags of ice since they do not have one on any floor.
The Litchfield Park Arts & Wine Festival was fun and much better than last week.
We usually bring our food but chose to indulge and split a Rueben Grilled Cheese Sandwich and some Mac n Cheese Bites…both were amazingly delicious! The Rueben’s sauce had a nice tang to it and the bites coating was light and delicious.
We found our truck…meet Steely! We’ve searched and finally chose our best option and we love it. Now we’re in search of a motorhome or trailer whichever works out best for us.
Our next event was nearby and so slow and boring, not our type of event but we muddled through it.
We also made our last move for a few months, we moved our stuff 2 sites over to the much larger park model. It has a comfortable king bed, roomy main room but the bathroom is a little smaller. Otherwise it will work just fine for us until we find our motorhome or trailer or until we head out in May, whatever comes first. We were so excited to finally be in our final move that we forgot to take pictures without our stuff. What a huge difference moving from site to site or park to park in our motorhome than having to move our stuff in and out in the park models.
We were only there for 2 nights when we got the word of a change of event plans, we would be traveling about 150 miles to our next event in Carefree. We also wanted to meet up with friends, so we made a nice road trip out of it. We met up at Harrahs Ak Chin where we spent the night after meeting up with them enjoying conversation and some lunch.
It was tough finding a hotel nearby so we had to settle for Comfort Inn & Suites right off I-17 & Bell, our old stomping grounds. It was a little rough, the area is not the best with numerous homeless people on all the corners. Our room was spacious with all the needed amenities, a comfortable bed, decent shower head, but very bad air conditioning in our room. We had them check it out a few times but it stayed the same, they gave us a tower fan which was like a mini air conditioner which helped a little but it was still hard to sleep. Our window didn’t have a screen so we weren’t comfortable leaving it open as it was much cooler outside and in the hall then in our room. It was frustrating paying such high prices and even though the staff were all very accommodating, the issue remained the same inconvenience for us. They did compensate us a little when we checked out.
Our event in Carefree was better than the one that was scheduled, still not awesome but we are trying to get them all situated for next year and going forward. Weather was strange, on Saturday it was 87 scorching degrees and business was slow and people were cranky. Sunday was 67 cool degrees and business was much better and people were fun.
