Day 12, Sat. 9/13, Cleveland/Eastlake, Ohio

Our stay at the Radisson Friday night and Saturday morning was frustrated by interrupted satellite transmissions affecting numerous TV Channels on television's in the hotel. Our room was nice enough and the hotel personnel very helpful but they were unable to get the problem corrected. It was a time of continuous overcast, warm but rainy throughout Friday and Saturday. Two big weddings were taking place at the hotel's large convention area. This made it interesting for Terry as he was carrying our laundry back and forth to the guest laundry room on the far end of the building and having to thread his way through the crowd of wedding guests who were forced to congregate inside the hotel due to the rain.

Linda checked with a nearby Courtyard by Marriott hotel, got a better rate for Saturday night and we canceled with the Radisson, packed our bags and made a move in the Saturday afternoon rain to the Marriott two miles southeast in Willoughby, Ohio, putting us even a little closer to Kirtland. This turned out to be a nice move because we got a 10% off on a nice takeout order at the Texas Roadhouse restaurant across from the hotel and we had all the game channels on a nice, new wide flat screen TV in our room and were able to settle in and watch college football across America.

With some instructions from our son Jeffery, we were able to tune in to the BYU/UCLA game on the KSL radio feed on our laptop. Way to go BYU!! 59-0!!! What a blow-out!! Loved it! And how about USC putting it to Ohio State? Another good game.

We plan to attend the Euclid LDS Ward sacrament meeting Sunday morning after we check out of the hotel. It is located in Kirtland.
