       Colder again last night 34 F at 5 am but with the sun rising warmed up quickly. Out  for my last walkabout here on this visit , always loving the views here. Taking our time getting ready to head out with a nice short drive today. Love our travel days we were dues to move after 2 weeks.
love the desert views here gonna miss them
        We secured our coach dumped our sewage topped up some fresh water, hooked up the car and headed east on AZ 86 for 111 miles. A wonderful 2 lane road very scenic and next to no traffic at all. Love this drive.
so quiet and scenic
lots of saguaro cactus along this route as well.
      And so many colourful desert flowers, hard to take a picture at 55 mph though.
       We arrived at Casino Del Sol in Tucson by 11:30 am found a parking spot at the back huge lot I am sure there is a couple of hundred rv';s camped here. I did a couple of minor repairs, enjoyed a light lunch then took a walk to check out the casino again just because I could. Only here once before can easily get lost in there.
a nice quiet spot we have.
       Beautiful grounds here like most casinos, lots of nice cactus gardens and varieties as well.
nice tree thought maybe a lilac but does not smell like them 
the hotel
side casino entrance
the Amphiteatre for outdoor concerts




















        Back home to relax outside in the very warm afternoon sunshine . Next to no wind but felt wonderful only 59 F  but the sun was nice. We enjoyed our e-readers for a couple of hours, a nice quiet happy hour here.
the view right in front of us , perfect
yup we got another corner site
enjoying  the blue Arizona skies
this rv drove , huge , from Germany
     We decided just after 4 pm to head into the casino and enjoy an early supper , Just because plus we are heading tomorrow into another time zone. loosing an hour trying to adjust now.
this nice Prevost is camped just up from us 
this guy has enough power I think???
this cactus with a few babies
love the lawn here looks like a golf green

inside the casino one of the wings 
     Our goal was Mobys for supper, we were here last year and enjoyed the food pretty reasonable and tasty.
love the atmosphere here
smiling Suzie ready to eat
we shared a salad to start
shrimp alfredo for Suzie
fish and chips for me Haddock was tasty
    We enjoyed our meals and took enough home for supper tomorrow night. Free camping tonight so we figured we could enjoy a tasty meal here, fair exchange I think.
      After this thought, maybe a donation to the casino fund as well. Its been a long time since we enjoyed  some slot time entertainment for a while only 10 bucks each, now got that our of our system for a while as well.
     We had a nice easy travel day, got to where we wanted to be , enjoyed some great weather casino fun and a tasty treat for supper.
our slot machine fix too
     Back home we relaxing inside and caught a nice casino parking lot sunset  then soon called it a night. Watch a show or two on the tube.
not a bad casino sunset


111 miles today
    That was our fun day hope you had good one as well , thanks for travelling along with us.

   Just the usual good nights  sleep and up by 5 am check emails for our package to arrive by USPS. Nothing by 6 am but is a sunny morning so a nice long walkabout to figure out what we will do.
Got an email from the tracking number and it has arrived at the Willis postoffice 6:54 am. the lady yesterday said I could come early and go to the side door. Ok I was right on that, Got there at 7:26 and we now have this package from daughter number one in Ontario made by a friend of theirs and looks like a  real cool a BBQ item hope we can use it.
   Below is the parcels we received from my daughter a Christmas gift made by a friend of theirs,
have not set them up yet but look very interesting
     That taken care of we can secure our coach, hook up the car and get on the road. At 9:15 we left the campground, taking some nice back roads to hop on I-10 and get a few miles in today.
    On I-10 heading towards San Antonio no rest areas yet but we found Truck stop to stop and stretch our legs and enjoy making a tasty light lunch at 11:30 am.
couple of very long loads hitting the highway
interesting water tower on this road
pretty quiet roads today , loving it
some nice back roads too
         Now heading to the Flying J in San Antonio the best gas prices we have not seen for a very long time.  How does $1;88 a gallon sound? With our Good Sam discount of 5 cents a gallon. 65.9 cents a litre in Canada. loving these GAS prices here, sure glad we don't have a diesel coach.
diesel a buck a gallon  more!
love these prices !
now on I-10 heading to El Paso TX, a long drive
couple more days
Welfare Texas!
Then Comfort Texas
       Our plan today was the Kerr county rest area on I-10 we have stayed at a few times before, but no place for us to park. Ok plan B there is a Walmart Super Centre 15 minutes up the road , that works for us. Getting to be 4 pm and we have had enough for today.
this be our spot for tonight
we are flexible
     Now to relax for a bit and whip up supper. Tonight  a chicken Pot pie, quick easy and very tasty. We enjoy when we are on the road.  Chicken Pot pie for the recipe you can click HERE or my recipe blog top right sidebar. Added a salad and sure did the trick tonight.  As much as we enjoyed our cruise and the meals we much prefer to cook our own meals at home.
tasty yup and another meal for tomorrow
this did the trick and so easy to make
almost fool proof
        A very good travel day we enjoyed and a few more making our way across Texas to Arizona.
        Thanks for joining us and hope y'all, had a great day as well.
288 miles today
