Jeff and Sharon's Travel Blog

Jeff woke before I did this morning, getting things ready to go. We left around 9:15 from the hotel and…

I woke up a bit earlier than Sharon. I figured it would be best to start packing after all we…

We slept in a little today, but it didn’t feel like it. Checkout was at 11AM and we were sure we would be out by then. We loaded up our car and headed out to McDonald’s for our $13 meal for both of us. I guess things are expensive in Moab. For the same 2 meals of Sausage Egg & Biscuit, hash brown and drink would have been around $7 at home.

After getting gas and orange Fanta we stopped by a local rock shop in Moab. Sharon saw a lot of rocks, none of which she felt like getting. I think people get caught up in souvenir buying and don’t realize that what they’re buying will just sit and collect dust once they get home. So it was $1 for an ordinary rock with increasing prices as the rocks became prettier or more interesting. They did sell fossils of fish imprinted in rock, which I did think about getting, but I wasn’t sure where I would put it, plus I wasn’t sure if it was authentic. Part of me repeats that Indiana Jones quote “It belongs in a museum!” Who am I to have a fos

The drive to Denver from Moab is longer than we wanted to do in one day, so we chose a…

We got up at around 7:45AM to start our day. Our hotel didn’t serve breakfast, so we decided on Moab…

We got up this morning a little before 8:00 and got ready for breakfast at the Moab Diner. We ordered…

Our hotel has doors that open to the outside and not to a hotel hallway. At around 10:30PM last night Sharon and I had just gotten into bed. Then we heard a clicking sound as if someone was trying to get in the room. Now you need to know that Sharon and myself are introverted and mousy people. So we are not likely to confront people. This person obviously had the wrong room. The room numbers are printed on the keychain. So why didn’t it dawn on her after trying a few times that she was in the wrong place. After the 3rd time of her going away and trying the key again I told her “I think you have the wrong room.” “Sorry,” she said and didn’t try it again. I didn’t dare open the door to her figuring the key in the door was a ruse to rob us (you never know). Seems that she and her husband probably wanted the unmarked room behind us. We heard them move into that after while. It didn’t help that the hotel front desk closed after hours. So we couldn’t exactly call the front desk

We had a bit of a scare last night. We had been in bed maybe ten minutes before someone started…
