Wednesday, September 14 - Off to Boise

Don and Brenda came by at 9:30 am.  Michael was able to finish mowing the lawn in time, so we loaded up our stuff in the back of Don't big truck and off we went.  We went the northern route through Prineville and stopped for an early lunch at the cafe in Mitchell - hamburgers all around.  Then we had an uneventful ride down into Boise.  This route is more scenic than through Burns although it adds a little more time, but we all felt it was worth it.  We arrived at the Wyndham Garden Boise Airport at around 6 pm (Mountain time) only to be told that they didn't have a room for Don Johnson.  I showed them the confirmation email from bookings.com which clearly showed 2 rooms.  At first she said that they never got the second reservation.  Then after looking through her printouts of that day's reservations, she found it and agreed that it said 2 rooms.  Then she said that whoever assigned the rooms that day didn't see that it was 2 rooms.  Anyway, she said she would find us a room and let someone else worry about it later.  There was a big Shriner's convention there so I hope we didn't have an angry Shriner later.  After a pre-dinner beer in Don and Brenda's room, we had dinner in the hotel's restaurant and then off to our rooms.
