If this is a resort, then it’s the LAST resort…



Off on our mini-adventure: Randy going to Corvette Driving School at the Ron Fellowes School and Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club. A “condo” at the “Resort” is included in the cost of the school. I was excited. A Condo at a Resort. Whoopee..

We were assigned Condo C4 (in hindsight, there might be some relationship to the explosive, as in, it should be blown up!). Kind of a nondescript building in mustard yellow that we got to by driving under the racetrack that Randy will be driving on tomorrow and the next day. That was sort of exciting, driving under the thundering herd of 2014 Corvettes. Well, actually we saw one Cadillac (they also have a Cadillac driving school) driving by. Or should I say floating by? There certainly weren’t any vroom-vrooms involved!

The first downer is that we both have to wear one of those ugly paper (but waterproof paper!) wrist ID bracelets. For two days! Anyway, first thing we look for in the room is a phone. No phone. Second thing is ice. No ice. Called on my cell phone and they don’t have an ice machine. OK, we could get a bag of ice (for the 3” by 6” freezer compartment) if I walked over to the Corvette School building. Which isn’t identified.

The room. What can I say? Two queen-sized beds almost completely fill the room. No chairs but it does have a microwave and a coffee pot. Hence the “condo” designation, I guess. It’s only two days but geeze, if they want good publicity they need to do a bit more! Maybe the fact that I have only seen one other woman and two other people over the age of 20 has something to do with it? Testosterone is oozing out the pores of the stucco walls!

Pictures tomorrow of Randy’s time on the track. If they will let me, that is!
