What was supposed to happen:
Two months ago Monello made an appointment with Fun Town RV in Cleburne to get some work done on the motorhome. We were to stay in the Home2 Suites in Fort Worth for two weeks while the work was being done.
What actually happened:
We arrived at Fun (ha) Town to find that they don't even do work on Class As. Us: "But we had an appointment!" Them: "Yeah, the appointment people aren't really up to speed on the kind of work we do." I am not making that up. That is exactly what the Fun Town person said.
So, okay....Maybe we can leave the motorhome in their lot for the night, go to the hotel and figure out what to do from here.
"Nope, sorry - you can't leave your RV in the lot." She left off the "**** you" but it was clear she was thinking it.
So Monello's amazing girlfriend jumped on the google machine, made a call, and hooked us up with a campground in Cleburne for the weekend. And it's a surprisingly nice campground, with a pond and the nicest lady who checked me in and gave me a pull-through for the cheapo price of $37/night because she felt sorry for me.
Snag: Monello bought an inflatable boat and was having it delivered to the Home2 in Fort Worth. So I called to cancel our reservation and asked the lovely and talented Samantha if they could hang onto the package and Monello would come up and get it....and she said yes, they would be happy to do that. So "Fun" Town - you suck, but Home2 Suites and RV Ranch fixed our problem.
So now we have to figure out what happens from here. I'm thinking just find another RV park closer to Fort Worth and stay for the two weeks, or just stay here if they have space. We're about a half hour from Fort Worth, so we can still see the things we wanted to see. We could also stay a week instead of two and do two weeks in Bastrop instead of the one we'd planned on. Decisions...
Once we got settled and brought our packed stuff back in the motorhome, we were starving and ventured off for dinner. Found the cutest diner downtown, then our waiter directed us to a terrific bar - Black Sheep Baa & Grill (Baa!
) - for a desperately needed cocktail. I'm on the Nexium so hopefully the beer I drank won't make me sick. Cleburne is a surprisingly nice town, for some place we got dumped. We could be happy here.
So tonight I'll do some research and make a decision tomorrow. And figure out when/where to get the work we need done on the motorhome.
A disturbance in the force, but we endeavor to persevere.
