The Stars have IT..

Made it to California, as you can tell from the last post.  What I didn't tell you in the last post is that we visited Vic's Crazy family in Thousand Oaks.  Uncle Jerry and Aunt Mel have been the warmest and most giving people.  They have opened there home many times to Vic and I, and we love them for that.  Upon arriving at there house it was determined the the drains were blocked up.. waste water system was a no go.  Tree roots had grown into the pipes and were slowing the drain in the front of the house.  Uncle Jerry spent most of Saturday with a rotor rooter trying to get the tree root out without luck.  This is Easter weekend, and somehow got a Shop in LA to drive up (1.5 hours) and try to get the clearance so we could use water and take a shower.  After the service was unsuccessful. They decided to get a power water jet to cut the roots.   I asked if they were bringing a Jet Engine on a flat truck to blow this baby out!  I need to take a shower.  Vic and I were joking that if we go on tripit and only give Chateau Loustalot  a 2 star rating.  3 starts if the water is running.... Hotel Antar came through with a Shower (4 Star Resort) and all was good.  Easter was fun, and we bumped up the star rating to 2.5 after the shower on Monday.  Well off to our 5 Star stay with Keith and Roberta.  There was a water issue there also, but all was good.  (someone shut the water off at there house)  Is there a water problem in California?  hum......

Vic and I loved California and the new friends we meet and stayed in some very different places.  Next time we go, we will be checking the star ratings, since the stars have it....
