Yesterday reminded us of a typical, Seattle morning in winter. It was a bit foggy and it tried hard to rain but all we would get would be a few sprinkles. It remained overcast with a threat of rain all morning but we ended up not getting any measurable rain, which we desperately need.
Our next-to-last late afternoon shift started out like it would be a very boring night with only 7 reservations scheduled for check-in, not including the 50 or so guests from two scheduled tour buses. The buses get checked-in as one, so they don't count among the individual reservations. The evening/night didn't end up as boring as we thought, as we checked in 27 walk-ins. These walk-ins can be very aggravating folks as most of them have been traveling all day from somewhere and are usually very tired and anxious to get settled in a room. The majority are pleasant folks but we had a few that created problems for us with various complaints: can't turn on the heat in the room, need a fan to create some air flow, the room is dark and depressing - please move us to a different room, the room smells like cigarette smoke - please cancel our room as we are leaving. All in a days work.
The countdown has started as today is our final day on the evening shift. There will be our 2 days off on Thursday and Friday and then our final 2 days on the early shift and it's all over for this season. As we near the end, we are getting anxious to go to southern Utah and visit the Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks one week from now...
