Dennis & Rita were on a whirlwind driving vacation. They had a two week window in which to accomplish there goal. They were from Iowa about 28 miles west of Des Moines. Dennis had never driven long distances, preferring to fly. But this vacation was going to be different. So they packed up the Miata and headed south. We met them when we were on our first cruise in 2008. We had been all seated at the same dinner table onboard the Carnival "Spirit". All of us were Bob & Cathy, Dennis & Rita, and ourselves Burt & Marge. We shared many laughs and have been in contact since this time. They had let us know that they were going to be coming this way and would be here April 6th. We made plans to meet as we were in Wellton, AZ (Bob, Cathy & Us) in our motorhomes. They stayed at the hotel across the road for a couple of nights. They arrived midday so we didn't do a lot other than sit around and catch up on the news. That evening we went into Yuma and had supper at Applebee's. The next morning we went to Algodones, MX to show them the border town and all the shopping one can do there. There were 8 of us, ourselves & Ross & Sheran, friends from home, using our car and Bob, Cathy, Dennis & Rita in Bob/Cathy's vehicle. We had a good day shopping along with much laughter. Dennis & Rita made mention that about all the extra's they could pack would be their passports as every available crook & cranny was occupied. We had lunch at the restaurant there. After getting back from Algodones and still being rather early in the day they left as they wanted to head to Phoenix/Mesa. We said our goodbyes and promised to keep in touch. Also there was again mention of another cruise where we would all meet again!!
