Gary's place was great. He's a nice host, offers a clean room with a very COZY bed with lots of pillows. He was home when i arrived so i didn't have to fuddle with finding the key from the lockbox. The room was right close inside. Nice living room and beautiful kitchen. Bathroom is shared and looks clean with double sinks. Only thing I didn't like was seeing the toilet brush and plunger sitting up on the back of the toilet. But, I explained why to Gary in the private note why that isn't the best place for it. You may answer that yourself. The house is close to Amtrak and a short 10 - 15 min. yo the Oakland Airport. It is good if love dogs, cuz the best thing I enjoyed there was Ludwig, Gary's sweet Corgi canine. I hardly ever sleep before flying the next day and being a dog person having sweet Ludwig stay around me was the best thing to ease my anxiety. He followed me around and kept me company with lots of warm cuddles and kisses. He even slept next to me thru my restless night. I forgot to even ask if Gary would let Ludwig sleep with me, but
after I finally closed my door for the night i could hear him up and laying outside my door I ended up cracking the door open for him to lay back down by me for the night. We both felt better.
Yep that sweet Corgi was a great comfort!
Also, Gary didn't have to, but he
offered wine and even a late dinner that I actually declined due to my stress, though i probly would have felt better had I took him up on it. Thanks so much Gary, and thanks for letting me borrow Ludwig for the night. I actually miss him and would be happy to doggy sit for you anytime. Just let me know when you are coming to Hawaii.
