Thanks, DD.

Only had one little black cloud last week.

We had a rental car and I always decline the insurance options. In a collision, between American Express and our personal insurance, we should be covered.

First, let me say, we rented from Alamo. After a couple of days, the tire light came on. Mr Just checked tire and one was low ... no big deal, right? It came on again a couple of days later. Added more air but we wanted it checked before we headed out across the dessert for home. The Flagstaff Alamo person told us where to go to have it patched and told us it would be our responsibility since we did not purchase the insurance.

The guy at the tire shop said it had a hole in it and it could not be repaired. He sent us to a discount tire shop that had the tire we needed. There was no nail in the tire, just the hole.

A new tire cost us $153.00. When we returned the car, I ask Alamo to help with the cost since they gave us a car with a bad tire. They refused. Said they had no way of knowing when the tire was damaged. I suppose they are right but I was very unhappy with them. We didn’t drive on dirt roads or anywhere that we could have damaged the tire. Always makes you wonder if the guy at the tire dealer got a kick back from the discount tire place. Trouble is, we are at their mercy.

Other than that, the time off was wonderful. We didn’t win any money in Laughlin but we didn’t lose much either. (We didn’t do much gambling). I did none and MrJust and Jr each lost about $20.00. Marissa enjoyed using their pool and making new friends.

Hope you are having a Happy Monday.
