An early morning start for us this morning with our shuttle bus arriving at 5.05am to take us from the Monte Carlo Hotel to the airport for our 7.45am flight to Dallas, Texas. We had breakfast at the airport and had a smooth flight to DFW with most of us having a nap on board (especially Karen who had decided to stay up the previous night - she had been gambling until 2am so decided not to go to sleep for two hours!).
We collected our cars from EZ Car Rental and then went in "convoy" to Denton. There was massive highway construction going on around the DFW airport but we managed without too many hiccups or U- turns!
We stopped at the Best Western Premier Hotel in Denton for the Patmans and Careys to check in - a very nice hotel @$90.00/ night which included a bedroom, lounge-room, kitchen and breakfast all included in the price - really 5 star!
We jumped back in our rental cars (subaru and camry's) and went to the Golden Triangle Mall in Denton 400m away for a late lunch and then to leave the "troops" whilst we headed to Don and Margaret's home at Oak Bend Circle.
It was wonderful to see both Don and Margaret! Donny looked really well after only having a heart operation four weeks earlier - he was really quick to inform us that he couldn't lift anything! We settled in very quickly and then we were off to El Fenix Mexican Restaurant for dinner with Don and Margaret, their friends Glenna and Johnny and Margaret's son, Andy. We had eaten at El Fenix on a previous visit to Denton and the food did not disappoint us! The strawberry daiquari was delicious! We went home and sat around Don and Margaret's back porch having a good old catch up until we couldn't keep our eyes open any longer.
