We always took 3 of our dogs with us to our condo. I don't remember if they charged us a cleaning fee (I think I remember it being something like $50 extra (for all 3). They were a very dog friendly condo group. We bought in at the very beginning & flew in the first few years (that was before we had our dogs).

After we got our dogs & we drove there from Calif, we ALWAYS took at least 3 of them. Usually Excell, Destiny, & one of the puppies from a current litter. That was when Leo got so attached to me. He rode on my lap the whole trip up there. The clutch on the Jeep went out around Salt Lake City. Leo was my lap puppy through all of that & then when we arrived at the condo, I got sick with pneumonia & ended up staying in the condo sick most of the 2 weeks & Leo wouldn't leave my side. He's had separation anxiety issues if I leave him from the beginning & it started with that vacation. I am so thankful that they allowed us to bring our babies as they learned to LOVE the snow. The first winter up there for Destiny, she couldn't figure out how to pee in the snow....lifted herself up on her 2 front feet. She got better as the years went by & grew to love the snow....& they all loved to go out Cross country skiing into the Teton park. My best memories were sharing my vacation with my eskies.....they enjoyed the vacation as much as we did.

LOL...one of my most fun travels & most educational was spending 5 weeks in Rome. At first one of the guys my H was working with thought he was the only one who could drive over there....arrogant guy didn't think a woman was capable of driving in Rome (the traffic was very different even from Los Angeles traffic that I grew up in). I got to the point where I had seen most of the things that I could get to from the Metro......so I pushed to get a rental car......wow did I have fun driving around Rome & going to all the other places I couldn't get to. Finding parking places in the city was entertaining....you would park your car in back of another one & go about doing your business.....if you heard someone honking & you knew you were parked in back of someone....you always went out to see if it was you they were honking for.

I did get in one traffic circle near the Collesao that I had a hard time getting out of but managed without even getting in an accident. I had already learned how traffic worked with pedestrians when I was walking everywhere......the pedestrians just look ahead & walk....the drivers drive around them as they are crossing the street.....so I got good at that too.

It felt strange coming back to California after driving for so long over there....I couldn't drive crazy like I did over there....it was a challenge but fun. Loved the way you could park anywhere & mostly with 2 wheels on over the curbing & 2 on the street at almost any angle you could wedge your car into the spot.

I had more fun with all the new challenges. My dad had taught me to drive out in the Mojave desert when I was 13.....so I had already been driving for so many years it was more than second nature. Still that way today even with my huge truck.

I liked driving even to our Canada vacation or we wouldn't have been able to get to the Athabaska glacier. My vehicles have a mind of their own & always love to turn off into off road areas & roam around just to see the back country that we couldn't get to otherwise. It had snowed when we were in Sedona.....I wanted to check out a fire road with our jeep cherokee......the mud stuck to the tires & the jeep started sliding down the dirt fire road.....it was an experience especially since there was a very high drop off next to the fire road......but the most interesting things are always where the off roading is....especially in Sedona, found a lot of interesting indian ruins.....off roading gets you part way & waking the rest gets you the rest of the way to the interesting places you can't see otherwise.
