Day 15 - Airstream Plant Day

September 24.

We got up at 5:00 to get ready for a 7:00 service appointment. The Airstream mechanic came over to our trailer and towed it to one of the service bays. We had them look at several minor items as well as the big item we came for -- replacing the small plastic toilet with a new china one. Unfortunately, when they trued to install the new toilet, they discovered it wouldn't fit. So we ended up selecting a different model that looks more comfortable than the micro toilet we had.

While waiting for the work to be done, we took Bailey in the car and drove over to a nearby town, Sidney to have breakfast at a local place called The Spot. It's a classic corner coffee shop where all the locals hang out. It had it's moment of fame when George Bush ate there during his 2004 election campaign. Great place with lots of local flavor. On the way back from Sidney, we stopped at a park and took Bailey for a nice walk.

Got back to Airstream, and they were still working on the Twinky. Ann Sue, Bailey, and I hung around the service waiting room all day. There was a plant tour at 2:00 that I attended. Finally, at 4:00, everything was done and they towed the Twinky to one of their TerraPort sites for the night.

Bailey was so good waiting patiently all day. Here she is on the floor of the customer waiting area.

Bailey being a very good girl

Bailey is enjoying the time out of the car. She slept like a log last night and I think she still has some catching up to do. She actually dozed off in the waiting area a few times!

This was actually the coolest service waiting area I've ever been in. Everything is decorated with Airstream.

Everything Airstream!

We had dinner at a nice restaurant on the main street of Jackson City called The Verandah. The food was fantastic and service was excellent. We highly recommend it for anyone staying overnight at Airstream.
