Bus, Train, Bus, Pretty Dump.

Another forced march day.

  • Bags out the door at 6
  • In the lobby by 7 (luckily Id bought food for breakfast the night before)
  • By 8 we are on the McKinley Explorer (that would be a train)
  • Rest and sight-see for four hours
  • Afternoon free.

Picture of said train:

The disasters started before lunch.

Disaster number one — lots of faulty cardkeys, and no ice machines working

Disaster number two lunch. No, we dont serve wine. Ross comment An opportunity to sell you something with a high mark-up and they are missing it?

Disaster number three dinner. No, the upscale restaurant on the property isnt open yet for the season despite be told at lunch it would be

Disaster number four off property choices, pizza, or the quality-lacking salmon bake

Disaster number five dinner at the caf on property. Gee 4 of the 7 entrees on the menu are sold out at 7pm.Look, now they serve wine!

Disaster number six — wow, now they dont have any power. Guess wed better eat what is hot already. Ross went for the buffet I went with the Prime Rib and the manager competed f glasses of wine (though Im sure he only meant to comp the first two).

Gee with no alarm clocks in the room, what do you think the chance of us getting a wake up call promptly at 5am yes, 5am, for another forced march tomorrow. Will that be tommorrow’s disaster?

The McKinley Chalet Resort certainly isnt really ready to be open.

Why do I feel a letter coming on…. “As a shareholder of your holding company, Carnival Cruise Lines, I have the following to share with you…..”
