Larry and I bid farewell to Tucson today around 11:00, which was later than we planned. Neighbor Helen reminded me that we'll get an hour back, so the later time didn't sound so bad. We had more packing and arranging to do than we figured. We had to have everything in order for the renters, who are coming on Monday and staying for two months. We didn't do so well about traveling lightly. We ended up packing up our pantry leftovers since we had room in our car. I forgot to chant, "Less is More." Maybe we can leave some of it with Cliff in San Francisco.
We had beautiful weather for the drive today. The traffic was a little heavy in places, especially on the road to Phoenix. We were relieved not to get stuck in traffic for very long driving through LA. We made it to Santa Clarita 7-1/2 hours after leaving Tucson. We amused ourselves during the drive by listening to an audio book, then listening to Garrison Keillor who was broadcasting from Tucson this week. It was fun to hear his impressions and jokes about the place. Tomorrow, SF or bust!
We spent the night at the Hampton Inn at Santa Clarita. I like the place. The room was clean and quiet, they include a cooked breakfast (which doesn't matter to me since those are never vegan), and they allow for cancellation up to 6:00 pm without penalty. This was the only hotel in its class that seem to do that. I'm including this review so we'll be able to remember it for the future.
