As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we had crickets in our room at Primm. Wendy wanted to check out as she thought I wouldn't tell the front desk about the crickets. So we pulled around to the front of Buffalo Bills and let Wendy go in to check out.
Wendy said that she politely told them that they may want to get maintenance over to the room as we had a few crickets overnight. The hotel staff was very apologetic and offered to comp half of the room. Wendy explained that she wasn't trying to get a discount, but just wanted to let them know, but the $30 off on the $59 room was a nice gesture.
Total cost of the flat tire episode: about $45 (room and tire fix)
We filled the car with gas, ate at McDonald's and headed down the road around 9:00 A.M.
After having a flat tire, I started to think that every sound was something wrong with the car and I found myself driving a bit slower (ok, so I stayed mostly under 90 MPH through the desert).
A few hours and ZERO stops later, we were pulling into the Marriott Newport Coast Villas.
The kids were excited to see Grandma and Grandpa and all of the cousins. So excited that after about an hour in the Condo, the guy in the condo below us asked if we could stop jumping around and making so much noise.
The condo there is great. Each unit has a bedroom with a King sized bed and master bath and a second bedroom with a Queen and pull-out couch. We slept in the King bed, Jonah in a porta-crib and Tillie and Isaak slept in sleeping bags on the floor in our room. Jim, Candace and kids slept in the other room with the bed and pull-out.
The kids played at the pool and at the playground, Jim and I went to the grocery store to fill up the rest of the refrigerator (Mom and dad filled each room with bottled water, diet cokes, fruit, milk, etc before we got there!)
While the kids were having fun at the pool and playing with the cousins, I went with my mom, dad and sister Laurie to get her checked in at the Anaheim Fairfield Inn and pick up our Disneyland Park Hoppers so we wouldn't have to wait at the ticket booth the next day.
We stopped by the Costco in Costa Mesa and sneaked in a burger from In-N-Out burger on the way back to Newport Coast.
Luckily the kids were tired and went to bed pretty fast rather than stay up all night with the excitement of going to Disneyland the next day.

Too bad you don't have my number, I could have possibly helped you out with your Vegas troubles. Don't you love the Newport Villas? Very fun, just wish it was on the beach...We'll be staying there in September - good times!
And one more thing, way to go Wendy on the complaining. At least they weren't cockroaches though - they must only be in Vegas...
Lori -
While we were trying to find a place to get our tire fixed, you guys did come to mind, but I couldn't think of a way to get a hold of your phone number. Plus you guys would have probably been on a wild Las Vegas Friday night date while we were fixing a flat tire!
Still waiting for day 3!
