Sunday, Aug. 31, 2014 – Lazy Packing and Mystery Theatre Sunday Brunch

Slept late this morning, before starting to pack. We had a small, quick breakfast, as we had decided to join in on a Mystery Brunch, something we had never done before, and we headed there for the noon start. The girl in charge didn’t do a great job of explaining anything, but it was enough to get us started, and we were delighted to find another couple where the woman was an actress who had recently become an empty-nester and who was thinking about starting a Shakespeare Festivel in Palm Springs, CA. It turned out our characters were married and from Texas, so we both immediately plastered on a Texas accent and started a great improv, while the rest of the table spent most of their time sitting back being entertained by us. We had a great time, and were the last ones to leave the restaurant (much to the relief of the wait staff). We reconvened later in another restaurant and chatted with them at length about their plans, which, would you believe, also included converting some property into a horse camp! All our lines of expertise, amazing! Anyway, we exchanged contact info and promised to keep in touch, before we went back to the room to finish packing. At one point, I had to go searching for my confiscated items, which included the Smoked Salmon-flavored vodka, and an iron which I was sure I had brought but couldn’t find when I went looking for it, forcing us to order one from the steward yesterday. Glad to know I wasn’t completely forgetful, though, since I spent 15 minutes looking for it, not realizing it had been taken out (for safety reasons, they claimed.) Anyway, we finished packing and putting our bags outside the door, enjoyed a small dinner, met up with our couple again, thinking we would go see the comedian again, but he was in a smaller room and it was so crowded, we decided to go to bed instead. Big day tomorrow!
