Changing Traffic Patterns at Work

For the second straight day we had 3 tours come in to the cabins. These tours create a lot of extra business in the gift shop and Josie stays busier than normal, which is good for her. The effect it has on my day is the opposite. The tours fill the cabins with only  a few rooms left to fill with reservations, and by 7 PM we are done our work for the day at the front desk. The tours bring in mostly people from foreign countries and there are no more kids since they are all back to school now. These older, foreign travelers love to spend.

Today will be a little different from the last 2 days. There are no tours scheduled in and we have about 45 cabins to sell. That makes for a super busy day for us at the front desk since the cabin show-ers (4-5 of them) are constantly on the radios to us indicating what cabins they are showing and what cabins they have sold after which they bring the people in to do the check-in.

Another sign of the season winding down is another "thank-you" pizza lunch that has been scheduled tomorrow for the gift shop personnel. That means that Josie goes to this one and I stay home. Remember the last one I went to and she had to stay home. I don't know why they couldn't have just one big party for all the people so that the couples could all go together. Oh, well.

It's still pretty cold here today (low of 38 this AM), but it seems like it might be starting to warm up a little. We hope that there still are some days left that will reach into the 80's before we leave. That's about it for now...
