Closing In On Free Time

It seems that we get busier and busier each day of the week from the time we start on Saturday until our free time begins on Thursday. The first 2 days (Sat & Sun) have been easy both weekends we have worked. Each day then gets more hectic until we reach Wednesday and Thursday and it hits full steam. There are 83 cabins in the Village, and on the weekends we usually get at least 2 tours in on each day which fills up the cabins quickly. We only have to deal with the Tour Director to check-in the entire bus load which varies from 30 to 45 people. When there are no tours coming in, we have all 83 cabins to rent to individuals and the pace gets frantic at times. As a result of the faster pace during the weekdays, we especially look forward to our days off on Thursday and Friday.

We are excited about going to Yellowstone on Thursday and we are planning out the day. It's a real advantage to be so close (50 miles) and to have the Golden Age Passport for National Parks so that we can visit on a regular basis and see everything there is to see, as often as we can go, at no charge for admission. Longer term, we are also excited about going to Jackson and seeing the Grand Tetons, but that will require more time and possibly an overnight stay in order to see everything.

Today we will probably catch up on some of the shows we taped during our working hours before heading out to work at 2:30 for me, and 3:00 for Josie. Until tomorrow...
