Corpus Christi

Well folks I am in Corpus Christi, TX and let me tell you that I was in a terrible mood when I arrived. You would have thought I was flying for hours (the flight was only 1hr 8min).

I started with jumping on a cramped regional jet by American Eagle. This plane was smaller that the one I flew to Minnesota in August. It seriously sucked. The second half of the flight it rained and felt like it took forever to land.

We then headed to the hotel and it again felt like it took forever, but we got there and boy does it ever look like a dump. I am usually pretty okay with where I stay, but with the bad flight and the fact that I'm away from my wife for four weeks, I would expect more from the hotel.

No free breakfast, No Suites, Small fridge & microwave, No street lighting, Nothing near by to go to, and the Gulf of Mexico kicks up too much salt. The only good thing about being there was that the housekeeping staff is very considerate to us in the way that they will clean our rooms if we are not back from the store, yet. Otherwise they will not bother us. Springfield's Residence Inn always bothered us by either knocking on the door, calling the room, or just attempting to come in (and that's with the do not disturb sign on the door).

The remodel at the store here is going well though. The store staff is a hell of a lot better that the last store we worked with. Well back to work.

Later........
