New Site for Next Year

We started our time at Bentsen Palm Village last season in site 515, which is part of the 500 Circle.  We were next site neighbors to another Excel, which led to our friendship with Gary and Mary Ann. For the last month of our stay, we had to move to another site (244), since 515 had been reserved by someone else. The new site was better than nothing, but it wasn't in the 500 Circle--it was a back-in site along the edge of the park and actually too short for us, so we have to park at an angle and dodge between the truck and the front of Venture to get in and out.

We ended up having to spend the entire season this year in 244, so we were determined to somehow get back in the 500 Circle for next year. Reservations opened yesterday for next season, and today we found out that we will be in site 510 next year--back in the Promised Land 8-) We are very happy.

I danced with Jean at Joe Saltel's this morning. She had dropped her daughter off at the airport to try to fly back to Indianapolis today. Jean didn't think she would have much luck, given the winter storm in the midwest.

Chris called this evening. He mentioned that his trip to DC scheduled for today had been cancelled, after he had almost gotten on his flight to Phoenix. Luckily he'll be able to teleconference tomorrow. Unluckily that means he'll be on a teleconference call from 5:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Ouch.

He also said that he and Annie will be traveling to Puerto Rico the end of the month. Three days of the trip will be a business meeting, but they are going three days early to spend some time in the El Yunque Rain Forest . What an opportunity!

Earlier this morning I spent half an hour on the phone with the insurance company trying to straighten out another mixup. We did get a call from the anesthesiologist's office responding to our complaint to Dr. Six yesterday. They said that they were new to the hospital and in transition to being in network for Blue Cross Blue Shield, and they assured Ken that they would not bill us the entire amount that the EOB had indicated. He doesn't know exactly what that means or what we'll end up paying, but it's something anyhow.


This afternoon we did the laundry.
