DAY 12 | The longest drive | ||
We somehow needed to get from Tombstone to Anaheim, for our Disney Finale with the kids. A breakfast stop at a gas station with a Subway sandwich shop got us off to a good start. Ben noticed that if you complete a survey on your receipt you get 3 free cookies.. Thanks to a kind lady in the queue, we ended up with 9, well done Ben : )
To be fair the I10 offered very little in " Scenery", we passed acres of solar panels set out in fields along the interstate.
Hollie's turn to choose but " Dairy queen" eluded us so Burger King for lunch, Ben got a crown so it wasn't all bad, he also discovered the free food for surveys again...
We continued along the Interstate and the trim on our windscreen blew off! We decided not to brave the 4 lanes of traffic to retrieve it! The car functions perfectly well without it.
The Majestic Hotel Anaheim after 9 hours of gruelling driving for Ben & Ian.. Finally the temperature guage registered a balmy 34 degrees after a day of 40+.
Ben & Hollie are off to the theme park for rides & fireworks, their excitement ( & Disney themed attire) is off the scale, our hotel offers a shuttle bus.
Ians withdrawl from Curry is sbout to be ended.
Gateway to India, with its challenging staff, lovely people but they struggled to answer our questions.
The meal was delicious, perhaps a little spicy..
Anyhow we have an early start tomorrow, aiming to beat the crowds and the heat, just seen the Disney fireworks over the liquor store in this mall!
Goodnight dear reader xx
