Day Two

Today we will unload Emily's stuff, cross Idaho and Montana, and enter Canada. We should end up somewhere between Calgary and Edmonton.
It is 6 degrees in Rexburg (8:30am) and partly cloudy.

I am new to this blog thing, but evidently I am supposed to update them dayly! When I entered Canada, I lost service. We got Kailab service for three days in case of emergencies, but my phone was dead. We did manage to get just over half way before running into trouble... However, I left off on Saturday; so let's go back there. The supposed short route from Rexburg to Helena cost us about an hour because of snow drifts. Fortunately because of the route we took, we saw some very interesting snowboarders. They were going up hill using parasails. I have pictures of those but won't be able to upload them until I have wi-fi. There are a lot of antelope in Montana! At the Canadian boarder we passed through customs without trouble and stopped just short of Calgary where we camped in the van at a quiet rest stop. We had a couple cans of chicken soup for dinner and went to bed.

Mexico Cruise Part 1

 Mexican Riviera Cruse One of the benefits of working for Holland America Princess Cruises is reduced price trips each year. In March Laura and I went on our first cruise--a 12 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera. We had a great time and got to detox from internet access. The following is from the log I kept of the journey. Zaandam docked in San Diego Cruise Day 0: Friday.  Traveled from Fredonia to California. Along the way we met Kailab in St George for lunch and took him to Walmart where he picked up his Starlink so he can get WiFi in his Big Rig on trips across the country. We stayed the night in a Highland AirB&B with gawdy colors and a beach motif.    Day 1 : Saturday.  San Diego:  Went to Redlands temple for 8:30 session.  Redland Temple Our room on board Deserts so many deserts Traveled to San Diego through crowded traffic.

Upcoming Test

I went from forgetting what a bus looks like Monday morning to receiving an email Monday afternoon telling me I have my CDL Test Thursday. Ouch. Stressing! These are the checklists for the pretrip inspection I have to memories and do. I don't get to look at the list during the test. This is just the list. Each item also has function and defect to enumerate. The pretrip is one of four parts. The others are the Airbreak Test, the skills test (straight backing, offset backing, parallel parking, 90 degree parking, cone weave, and curb pull up, and then finally the driving test. Better get back to studying. Yes students some of us actually do that:)
