Residence Inn Spokane E Valley

Here I am trying to pack for yet another trip. Everything out ready to put 1/2 back....then another 1/2 back in a day or so. The good news is that we have really no restrictions on weight (other than the standard 2-bags at 50lbs each) and neither Southwest nor Mexicana is charging for baggage. No way I'll need that baggage limitation but I still worry about having to carry the stuff around!<br ...

Finally got the truck back, all fixed and running beautifully. Decided to get on the road, though it was already 2 pm. Headed south along Flathead Lake through green forests and valleys to I-90, then west, west, west. All uphill, what a climb, to Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, then downhill into Washington State. Spent almost two hours trying to find Riverside State Park in the city of Spokane, finally set up the camper and tried to settle down for the night.

... halls full of culinary arts, horticulture, poultry barn, beer garden etc.  We went to the critter corner and there were birds and reptiles including Big Al an alligator reared from birth and available for a photo &#8211; Lily and Fynn were first up (Edie not so keen) and sat with Big Al on their laps.  <br><br>We did not have too much time at the Fair as we had promised to be with mum and dad at the Armstrong&#8217;s (Karen and Jack&#8217;s) cabin in Plains for supper so with ...

... cleansed with a basil and lime sorbet (to die for), trout and fennel, shredded beef and a cheese dish which incorporated a fusion of blue cheese with other cheeses.  All the bread accompanying the meal, pastries and desserts were all prepared and not one item frozen.  The wine was from Washington.    As I sit here I am finding it hard to remember all the ingredients and really annoyed that I did not write it down.  A memorable meal and we are only ...

... rakes for clearing the bunkers! I teamed up with Tim to form a Brits team against Rob and Steve &#8211; the Yanks- in a Ryder Cup style four-ball match. Tim and Rob played really well with Steve and I contributing on some holes with the match going down to the last green for me to hole a 6 footer to halve the hole and win the game 1 up. A fantastic game on a gem of a course.

We were so looking forward to a bed.  As much as the RV is comfortable there is only a limit to how much time you can sleep on foam.  We drove around the Coeur d'Alene lake  and all had a good feeling about what was to come.   Up into the mountains along a dusty lane we were being encouraged to go further to find Red Horse Mountain Ranch.  We drove to the ranch house and was met by your stereo typical wrangler or wranglet, Ashley in jeans and gingham shirt ...

... South, they used to describe towns like this as "2 stores, 2 *****s, and a cotton gin". This town had 2 motels, a gas station, a McDonald's and a diner. The drive all day was BORING!. Prairie (again), tumbleweeds, some huge farms of wheat and stuff, and NO TREES! I always think of the state of Washington in terms of lumber, but the East side of the state is in the lee ...

... the weather softens; sun flurries and then warmer weather. Relative comfort. Ahhh. Close one. Closer than it needed to be. The rest of the day pales in comparison as I ride south to the highway (stopping at that gear shop to grab some handwarmers for future contingency) and make my way towards Spokane, snagging a hotel and a much welcomed hot shower. I hang my wet gear and glumly note that I have neither my thermos or my tent poles. Thermos ...

... s the word I'm looking for...real. Err, academically oriented. Basically, what I'm saying is that that they are all the same! It's a little trick. Different names, same exact class! More credits!! Woo-hoo. So here they are, according to the Gonzaga course catalogue: ITAL 201 - Intermediate Italian I Credits: 4.00 This course will build on existing skills in Italian, increase the ability to read, write, speak and understand the language, and ...
