We\u2019d been umming and aahing about staying a few days near Moab, which was 2.5 hours drive away, but we both woke up this morning and decided to drive the 6-7 hours to Cedar City, where we would try and change to an earlier flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We arrived at the Cedar city campground just after 5pm (the same one as our first night here, and also where we spent a week with covid last year). It\u2019s not that it\u2019s a particularly nice campground, more that it\u2019s familiar, and Cedar city is a nice town, not too big, but with everything you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plan was to change our flight to Thursday (it was currently Monday), and that would give us a full day in Cedar city to clean the van out, vacuum and wash it. But when I tried to change the flights, Thursday was all booked out. The next available flight was Saturday. I had it in my mind I just wanted to get home now, and didn\u2019t want to wait until Sat. The agent said there was also a flight on Wednesday, but we thought that would be too early. Plus she said it was too late to apply our recognition upgrade. I told her we\u2019d think about it and get back to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike said there was no way we would make it for Wed night, not if we wanted to give Rodger needed a good clean. I disagreed. We still have an hour of daylight to clean Rodger out and pack out bags, and leave early in the morning. I rang our storage unit to see if we could put Rodger back tomorrow. She said they normally needed 23-48 hours notice. Bugger. But she said it should be ok, just to let her know when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I rang Air New Zealand back, got a different agent and he changed our flights, and also applied our recognition upgrade. Now all we had to do was get back to storage, find flights to LAX, and book a hotel in LAX. Oh, and empty the fuel from the generator. That could wait until the morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
