Day in Prescott

We didn't think it would take as long as it did to travel to Prescott and do our errands that we had planned. It was 11 AM by the time we finally got started and didn't get home until 8 PM last night. We stopped at Costco and renewed our membership and downgraded it to a regular business membership and saved $54 on the annual membership fee. We spent a lot of time there since we haven't been to a Costco for so long. It was nice to see all the new "stuff" that they have now. Our shopping at Costco is really dictated by the amount of storage we have in the fifth wheel. Most of what Costco sells is in such large quantities that it doesn't make sense for us to buy. There are still many things that are so much cheaper that you have to buy.

The next stop was to Walmart where we had to fill a prescription for Josie. That did not go well. The company that Josie gets her COBRA insurance from (Phoenix Flower Shops), changed providers during there annual insurance review and the new provider doesn't have Walmart on their list of network pharmacies. Can you believe it? One of the largest pharmacy networks in the country is not approved. Anyway, she has to go to a CVS, Walgreen's, Safeway or Fry's to get her prescription filled. We did some other shopping while we were there. We then stopped at a Walgreen's and the line was so long at the counter that we bagged that.

Then it was off to Alltel to do battle again. It seems like almost every trip we make to somewhere, we have to locate an Alltel store to fix a problem. This time it was to pay the bill for our data card which, for some reason, we can't pay online. Alltel will only recognize our prepaid phone account and won't allow us to establish an online account for the data card. How dumb is that? We can't wait to get our Verizon phones and account back.

With all the frustration we had we then decided to have dinner and stopped at a Streets of New York restaurant and had a great meal. They had a special for pasta meals where you get one entree free if you order two from the pasta menu. We had a lasagna and a ravioli meal, a pitcher of beer, and walked out after spending $17 for the whole meal.

Our last stop was at Fry's to get a flu shot and to do some final shopping and fill up on gas. By that time it was already dark and we headed home.

The plan today is to go to Payson, get Josie's prescription filled at Walgreen's and have service done on the Jeep. We also need to sort through our belongings to eliminate things we don't need to travel with and take them to our storage unit on the weekend. Sounds like a busy day...
