Goodbye Squaw Valley – 16/03/18

Pete didn’t sleep a lot last night, believe it or not, I managed to sleep very well.

At some stage, during the night he had decided it might be time to leave Squaw Valley.  It was still snowing heavily, I still couldn’t believe I didn’t feel like skiing and if we didn’t make a move soon we may not get out of here for a while.

So, once we had all woken up the decision had been made. Spent the morning doing the washing, booking some extra nights in Reno and then ready for our taxi transfer at 11am to Reno.

We almost didn’t get out as there was a major crash blocking the road from Reno to Squaw Valley and Hwy 80 from San Francisco to Squaw Valley also was closed due to a high snow level.

Eventually, the road from Reno to the slopes was opened, our Uber cowboy arrived and away we went.

Pretty white snow drive from Squaw Valley to Reno which is now also covered in snow.

Arrived at Harrah’s hotel which will be our accommodation for the next four nights.

Spent the afternoon going around in circles as to where to go next.

In the end, it came down to one thing, somewhere warm. Not just take your jacket off and leave your jeans on warm, bloody warm.

Mexico won, and for two weeks. This little weak weather Aussie is over the cold weather.

At this rate, we will arrive back in the US just in time to take our cruise out of Miami….to the Caribbean. The legs are going to be out, out, out.

Happy about the next move, only four days to get through the cold here.

Japanese for dinner, found Friends on TV (sorry Pete) and then bed.
