Vacation Begins ...

March 2 & 3, 2017 

Today was the day we were heading south to the sunshine ...

Leaving the Cranbrook airport for Calgary ...

then flying to our destination in Phoenix ...

to spend the week with Linda (Mike's sister) & Dave ...

along with some of our friends from Sarnia, Ontario ...

Linda and Dave picked us up from the airport ...
then drove to Towerpoint RV Resort in Mesa ... 
It was a long day and it felt good to sit back and relax ...
We then needed to get our sleeping arrangements done ... 
The trailer was a little tight ...
for 3 extra people sleeping in the front room ...
Oma and I would share the bed and Mike had an inflatable bed ...
Mike figured it would be too crowded ...
and too warm for him to sleep inside ...
He had scouted out the storage shed outside ...
and decided to make this ...
his accommodation for the duration of our holiday ...
He was quite comfortable in his room ... ha ha ...
He had shelving for all his items ... and all the tools ...
just in case he needed them ...
The next morning ... after a good nights rest ...
we decided to join our friends at the resort complex ...
for a couple hours of Line Dancing exercise ...
Oma joined in as well ... for a few of the dancing ...
 then sitting out when the moves became a little more difficult ...
After our workout ... we walked to Joan's residence...
for a lovely luncheon and cool fruity slushes ...
We had a great time ... 
_______________________
Oh yes ... Mike slept well also ... although he woke up on the floor ...
in a flattened air bed ...
Apparently the brand new mattress had a hole in it ... 
Mike and Dave went to exchange the damaged mattress ...
and got things back into the shed ...
The guys came and joined us at the complex ...
and we all had our loungers reserved by the poolside ... 
Enjoying our time visiting with everyone ...
 
After dinner ... the gang from Sarnia came over ...
for an evening of reminiscing about our schooldays ...
and telling stories ... oh my we laughed so hard at some of the memories ...
Of course after a few sociables ... Mike thought he better get his CPAP ... (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
set up for the night ...
A few of our friends were interested in how this device works ...
Sooooo ... naturally Mike would put on a demonstration ...
It was hilarious ... even though the gang was asking questions ...
they couldn't stop laughing ... as Mike was talking with the mask on 
...
Now our friends know how it works ...
We had a lovely evening with all our friends ...
and they loved having Oma there ...
