Yuma - Mexico summer trip- (Day 18) - visited Monterey Park and home

7/26/10 (Monday)

I woke up at 6:00 a.m. in the morning. I went outside to clean up the cat box. Not too long I heard that were some smoking Asian men talking about how difficult it is to taking public bus to work. Then 10 minutes later they were picked up by a minivan and went to work. Tom woke up at 7:00 a.m. and we moved the trailer a little closer to Garfield Blvd on Garvey Ave.

We walked to the store to buy some sesame ball and oil fries stick for breakfast. Then Tom drove the trailer next to the market in San Gabriel Blvd/Garvey to have porridge and oil fries stick.

Then we drove to the market in North San Gabriel and parked along the Valley Blvd. I saw a big bus parked there to take people to Indian casino. I was not too welcome to park near them. We bought some thousand year egg cake which cost two for $1.39, I bought three orders. We moved our trailer away from those big buses to a small street across the Valley Blvd so we could buy some pearl milk drink and walked around the area some more. Mel bought two pearl mill teas for Lawrence breakfast. We walked to Hawaiian supermarket 2 blocks away to buy some groceries including some pickled ginger slices. When we came back, Tom saw a parking police woman looking at our trailer. She then told Tom that it was parked more than 18 in from the curb. Tome told her it was impossible to park near the curb because of the tree and the different width between the trailer and our much smaller truck. She said we should moved to a better parking. But Tom said there were no other suitable parking. Then she become funny and Mel also joined in to change to other unrelated subject. She bless us safe trip home before she left.

After Lawrence finished eating we bought two more pearl milk tea before we headed for the road. Tom drove all the way to Gilroy and felt very tired, so we went to the Gilroy's Walmart supercenter for shopping while Tom could sleep for a while. I bought more sweet tea, because this was the only place I knew to have this drink. After an hour later, we went back to the trailer and Tom went to the gas station nearby and fill up two more gallon of gas in case we did not have enough to get home. On the way home Odie was mowing all the way home, I guessed he wanted to know when we will be home.

Yuma - Mexico Summer Trip - (Day 17) - leaving Yuma

7/25/10 (Sunday)
After Tom and I finished cleaning up and hooking the trailer, we took a quick shower. Then I called Phil (River Front RV Park Host) to tell us how much is the electric bill. When I asked him to come over, he told me per the owner Jean that we would not need to pay it. Phil asked do you know why Jean liked your husband so much, I told him that I would not know why.

We stopped at Red Earth Casino next to Salton Sea to fill gas because gas is cheaper there. We wanted to stop at the Winco supermarket in Indio to check out their French bread. We first went to the Petmart next door to cool off the cats. But we were not allowed to go in Winco with the cats. So Tom went in himself to check out the bread, but it did not have it. By the time we reached L.A., it was already passed 9:00 p.m. Tom parked the trailer on one of the street which was closed by the Sam Woo. I had ordered three dishes for dinner, fries rice, hot rice noodle and beef noodle. After that we want to have some pearl milk for drink, so we walked 20 minute along Garvey Blvd to the store. The store was closed by the time we got there. We walked back to our trailer and all went to sleep early since we did not have the 110 volt for TV.

Yuma - Mexico summer trip - Day 16

7/24/10 (Saturday)

I woke up very early this morning at 5:40 a.m. I tried to go back to sleep, but I could not. All three of us took a shower before we went to the Main Library. Today was the last day we were going to stay at the library. Once again we stay till the library closed. Then we went to Walmart again to buy the sweet ice tea, this time I double check the bottle. We went back to the trailer and I started cooking the dinner, we had New York steak, beef steak and salads and some cole slaw. After I finished cleaning all the dishes.

Tom and I took Odie to the park down the street. I pulled some grasses to bring it back for Ben Ben.

Yuma - Day 15

7/23/10 (Friday)

Tom and I both took a morning shower. Then I cooked the spaghetti left over from the last night dinner. I added one can of chili beans to the spaghetti, because we ran out of tomato sauce. But Tom did not like it, he said it did not taste good. So I tried to finish as much as I could. We stopped by a coin laundry to wash our clothes. The big machine cost $4.00 enough to put 4 small bags of clothes and the dryer was $0.50 for 12 minutes. I had one big load plus $2.00 for dryer. While I was doing the laundry, Lawrence was sitting next to me waiting for the clothes and Tom went to fill up the propone tank. By the time I almost done, Tom came back for us. He told me the propone cost $7, about $2.20 a gallon. Then we went to the library and stay until 5:00 p.m. which the library closed at 5:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. After that we went to the Walmart that was closed to the library. I bought one sweet ice tea, but I didn’t pay attention on the bottle and pick up the un-sweet ice tea. I noticed that after we went back to the trailer.

Yuma - Day 14

7/22/10 (Thursday)

Today is the last trip that needed to go to the Los Algodones Mexico. I woke up at 8:30 to take a shower, then I started making macroloni and ham for breakfast. We reached border parking lot at passed 10:00 a.m. I told Tom that I wanted to have a hair color or hair highlight. We were walking around to look for hair shop. We see one shop price outside (hair color $18) but we didn’t go inside the shop, because we ran out of time for the dentist appointment. After Lawrence went inside the dentist office for last filling and put in the crown, we went outside again continued looking for the hair color shop. We stopped by many shop, but they were not cheap at all. I had some shop tell me the price was $25 for hair color, $25 for highlight; other shop was $20 for hair color, $20 for highlight. Finally I found one that was across the street to Dr. Juan Bernal at 3rd St. The price was cheaper, it only charged $12 for hair color and $15 for highlight. I also bought apron for $8. We went back to pick up Lawrence at Gentle Dental and paid for the remaining $50 for the filling. I went to have my hair color while Tom went across the street to have the stitch taking out. After I did the hair color, Tom asked me if I want something to eat. So we bought 1 shrimp taco for me & 1 fish taco for Tom ($1.50/ea x 2 =$3). Lawrence did not want one. Next we stopped by the alley with a restaurant closed to the 2nd Ave. We bought one Margarita drink cost $3 for both of us. We went back to trailer to pick up the computers and dropped off Lawrence at the Main Library. Then Tom and I went to the Yuma DMV to clear his name. Tom needed to pay $10 to reinstatement. While I was waiting for Tom to use the bathroom, I saw the DMV door window has a notice said that we will be closed this Friday 7/23/10 due to the cutting fund. When Tom came out from the bathroom, I told him that if you did not listen to me you will be end up staying here two more days. By the time we went back to Main Library it was already passed 5:00 p.m. Once again we stayed till 9:00 p.m. until library closing time. I told Tom we need to go to the Walmart to buy some sweet ice tea; spaghetti; tomato sauce; and egg for breakfast. When we arrived at the Walmart door, we saw a lot of people including the employees running outside. I asked one of the employee, he told me that they needed to evacuate the store. So Tom took me to Food City to shop. We have spaghetti and salads for dinner.

Yuma - Day 13

7/21/10

We stopped by the Chase Bank ATM to withdraw $400 more cash in case we needed it. Then we dropped off Lawrence in the Main Library. We drove to Ajo 150 miles away to pay the traffic fine that had happened in December, 1991.


Tom found out that we needed to pay cash, the court did not accept personal check. Total fine was $560.67. Luckily that we brought just enough cash to pay for this fine, the court clerk told Tom he also need to go to the DMV to pay a reinstate fee. On the way home we stopped by the IGA market in Ajo to buy some ready eat for the road. Before we went to the Main Library, Tom stopped by the Well Fargo Bank ATM and I withdraw $500 more cash. I fixed a roast beef sandwich for Lawrence using our ready eat from Ajo. Again we stay at the library until 9:00 p.m. On the way home Tom stopped by the Barneys #39 gas station to fill up the gas tank, we paid $40 cash this time, (the price drop from $2.69 to $2.66) and got the change back.

After I finished the shower, I woke Lawrence up at 9:10 a.m. and we left the trailer at 9:40am to go to Algodones Mexico. We went to the dentist office first and the dental assistant had her son which was same age as my son took us to the root canal office.

We went to the pharmacy to buy the medicine for Lawrence and me (Gel for my teeth $10.17, Lawrence Ilosone (antibiotic) $16.45 and Dolo-Tandax (Pain) $9.48). We drove back to Yuma after paying $5 for the parking. Then we went back to our trailer to pick up the computers for the library.

Yuma - Day 11

7/19/10 (Monday)

I woke up at 7:30a.m. this morning. After I finished brushing my teeth and change my clothes, I start cooking bacons & eggs and toast for breakfast. We went to the Chase Bank ATM to take out another $400 for Algodones Mexico. First we stopped by the Professional Optical for Lawrence eyeglasses and Tom eye exam. It cost $40 included eye exam and eyeglasses for Lawrence and Tom only cost $10 for eye exam. Since we had to wait for one hour before Lawrence glasses ready, we went checked out a dentist next door.


The dental office name is Gentle Dental. The dentist name is Elvia Hernandez Banuelos. She gave us a free exam, Lawrence also had a teeth cleaning costing $30. Lawrence needs 4 filling and one teeth need root canal and crown for that teeth (totals cost for Lawrence is $660). Today she will only do two fillings (1st filling cost $70 & 2nd filling cost $50) for Lawrence. I told her that we will do root canal on Tuesday instead of today. I have a free exam too, the dentist told me that I need teeth cleaning and one teeth need to be special care because the root was showing. She told me that one of my teeth need deep cleaning too, which would cost $20 and she took one X-Ray (cost $10) for that teeth so she saw how to clean that teeth. The dentist told me to come back tomorrow for the deep cleaning. Dentist also told me I needed to have a special mouth wash to clean my teeth. (cost $11.90/ea).

We had KFC for late lunch and could not finish them all so we had some left for dinner. Then we went back to the trailer to pick up all our computer for the library stay. We all stayed in the main library until 9:00pm. Tom drove me to the Food City to buy some food for next day. We ate the KFC left over for dinner plus we had some coleslaw and mustard potato salads from Walmart.

Yuma - Day 10

We woke up and started putting away stuff to move our trailer to the River Front RV Park inside Yuma city limit. The cost was $125 a week plus electricity. It took us until 1:30pm to finish putting away all the stuff. By the time we arrived and finished setting up it was passed 3:15p.m. Tom watched a little bit TV and cool down. We went to Taco Bell for late lunch (almost 4:00 p.m.). After that I told Tom I want to go to Goodwill and take a look inside. Lawrence found a world history book, it cost $4.99 and a bamboo basket cost $2.99, but ½ prices. The cashier makes a mistake by putting down $2.99 instead of $4.99. Also I told him this book is for my son, he told me that I would give you a 25% student discount ($2.99 x 25% = $2.24), since he is a student. So Lawrence got a very good deal on this book. Then we went to Super Walmart to get water (it cost $0.27/per gallon) and I brought 3 boxes of Lemonade it cost $1.00/ea; 2 Klondike ice cream (one is Oreo & Neapolitan) cost $2.50/ea.

I woke up at 8:00 a.m. this morning. I cleaned up the sandbox and the sands around the area too. After that I had a shower and made noodle lunch. On the way to the Main Library we stop by the Radio Shack to look for the light bulb for our RV night light. They didn’t have it. We stay at the library until closing time and we left the library in a hurry. By the time we all went to the truck, Lawrence asked me where my bag was. Then I remembered that our food bag was still inside the library which the DS games were inside the food bag too. So I was waiting outside until someone saw me. Finally there was a lady saw me outside and told me the library was closed. I told her that I left the food bag inside the library, she asked me is the key inside? I told her that “No”, She suggested me to come back on Monday, but I said I needed the bag. She asked me where the bag was, I told her on the second floor first table on the corner. When she comes back with my bag, I said thank you. There was still day light so Tom drove us to see the Yuma Crossing and I took many pictures.

I woke up 7:05 a.m. this morning so I could wash our clothes. On the way to the laundry room I saw Ed the host next to the road. I said “Hi” to him and asked him to have his wife Jay to turn on the gas for the dryer. Ed told me that his wife was doing laundry right now. So I went inside the room and Jay asked me if I need any change. I told her I need $2, but I don’t have any money with me right now. By the time I came back to the laundry room I saw $2 change laid on the table. I picked it up and went outside to look for Jay to give the money back to her. The washer cost $1.50 a load and dryer cost $1.25 for 45 minutes. After I put the clothes inside the washer, I went to the next door for a quick shower. When the laundry was all done,I went back to the trailer. I packed our lunches and we all went to the Main Library. We have to leave the library at 4:40p.m., because library closed at 5:00 pm on Friday. We went to look for another RV park in the city, but there was a gate in front of the RV park. Next we went to Food City to buy grocery.

The assisting host Phil was very nice, we walked around to check out the trees to see if they have a nice shade. He told us the weekly rate was $125 plus electricity.

Yuma - Day 4 (Algondones, Mexico)

7/12/10 (Monday)

We woke up at 10:00am and got ready to go to Algodones Mexico. We could feel the heat from outside, later we found out the temperature was 110 degree that day. At first we wanted to take Lawrence to Heritage Library, but the library close Monday.

So we took him to the Main Library which has a better open hours from 9:00am – 9pm for Mon-Thur and Fri & Sat open from 9:00am - 5:00pm.

When we reached the road next to the Mexico border that we used to park our truck for free, we saw the post said “NO Parking Anytime, Fine will be $199”. Tom had to park our truck inside the paid parking lot, which cost $5 a day. On the way to the dentists in Tom list, there were a lot of people in the street trying to get us into their dentist office. We went into one of the office and saw the people who work inside the office were very young. Also half of the place was eyeglasses and the other half was the dental office. We did not like it. Tom and I walk back outside and continued looking for the one in the list. Then we had another man name Tony Antonic which spoke very good English told us he worked at this dentist office. He took us to the office, he told us his boss was a implant specialist. The dentist name was Dr. Juan Bernal. We could have a free exam if we wanted it, so I went inside and talk to Dr. Bernal about my loose tooth in the back of my mouth. He took a look and told me that I could not save that tooth, because it was badly infected. He told me this tooth needed to be taking out, and I asked him how much does it cost? He told me it is $40 per tooth. Dr. Bernal do a very good job of removing my tooth, he did it very fast, and I did not even felt it when he took it out from my tooth. When I walked back in the front office I told Tom Dr. Bernal is very good dentist, then Tom went inside and had his tooth exam. While I was waiting I found out that Tony Antonic used to be a carpenter in San Diego. He told me that he has a house in Yuma and Dr. Bernal also has one too. They both are American resident, but Tony said he like the Mexico better. He told me itonly cost him $56 us dollars to rent a 2 bedroom 1 bath house for a month. Also told me that right now he has his air cond. turn on 24 hours for a month, only cost him $20. He went see Tom and walked back to tell me that Tom is having two teeth pull out and one implant. When Tom come out he told me the same story, Dr. Bernal was very good at pulling teeth, he didn’t feel anything at all. Our totals bill was $720 (including 3 X $40 for teeth removed and $600 for the implant). Dr. Bernal wrote Tom an antibiotic and pain pill, and told us go to the Grupo Liquis Pharmacy (purple store). We went inside and bought the medication which cost us totals $35.45 (including $7.99ea for 12 tabs antibiotic; $5.99ea X 2 10 tabs/ea box for pain pill and high blood pressure pills $7.74/ea X 2 100 tabs/ea).

We went back to the main library to picked Lawrence up and went to Walmart to buy a 19 in Vizio flat screen TV. It cost $188 plus 9.4% tax. They have no recycle fee attached to their price. After we got home, I could not found my antenna. So we had to waited one more day to watch our new TV.

Yuma - Day 3 (Pinot Knob RV Park)

7/11/10 (Sunday)

While Lawrence able to sleep and we were waiting for the trailer to cool off. Around 3:30 am, Tom told me we should turn off the power now, before the host found out we use their power. So Tom retrieved the power cable. We all went to sleep. Lawrence woke up at 5:20am complaining that was too hot and stuffy to sleep in the trailer. Then he went outside to cool himself off. At 6:00am I walked over to the host house and knocked on the door to see if they already woke up. But no one answered the door, I came back to the trailer and hooked the power back up a bit longer so Lawrence could go back to sleep for another couple hours.

Park host Ed was walking to seem doing exercise around the park. We went talk to him about our arrival and site choosing for cooling and internet reception. We went to see his partner Joy for the rent after our setup. I paid $125 cash to Joy for a one week stay at Pilot Knob RV Park.

We picked the #7 site to parked our trailer, later Tom learned that the WiFi service was limited, only 60 mega byte a day, after that every 60 megabyte will cost us $2.00 for each day.

We were very sleepy we all went to sleep until 4:30pm. We drove 9 miles to Yuma looking for our bank so we can get more cash. We found both of our bank closed to each other; I went to Chase Bank first to get $300 out from the ATM. We went to Walmart's McDonald in Pacific Blvd for lunch, it cost us $16.68. Tom found out that the eat-in tax cost us 11.4%. I saw there was a Wells Fargo ATM inside the Walmart parking lot, so we stopped by and took out $300 more.

Yuma - Day 2

7/10/10 (Saturday)

We woke up at Lebec Flying J, then we drove to L.A. for lunch. We parked our trailer across the San Gabriel Blvd near the store to have our food. I bought us 3 Pearl Milk to drink ( 3 X $1.15) in other store across in Valley Blvd. The food place was much crowded because it was lunch time. I bought us a lot of dim sum for lunch. And Tom got his chicken rice and wonton noodle for Mel.

After the lunch my son and I went to the San Gabriel Superstore in the same building to shop for more food. I found the sesame seed candy for only $1.99/ea, in San Jose Lion Mark it cost me $3.45/ea. I also brought fresh Lychees, Water chestnut and Red Bean Mochi. We decided to keep driving to Yuma instead of staying at L.A. as it hot here. We stopped in a Wal-mart in Brawley and tried to stay for the night as the security allowed us. But it was way too hot to sleep. So we decided to drive 2 to 3 more hours, hopefully when we reach the Pilot Knob RV Park near Felicity it would not be too hot and also a shorter night. We arrived very late around 1:00am in the morning. Tom went inside by himself and checked on the place. After he came back out he lift the gate bar and drove the trailer closed to the office and plugged in the power cable to the nearest power post so we could turn on the air condition.

Yuma - Day 1

7/9/10 (Friday)

We woke up late that morning around 10:00. Before I started putting the last things in the trailer, I watered all my plants outside as our trip to Yuma would last at least 2 weeks. I also put enough cat food in our garage for my other 2 cats. To keep it fresh, Melanie got a creative way by putting the cat food in a few plastic bags so the cats could break open when they got hungry enough.

Before we reached Gilroy, Tom bought one propane hose from the Camping World as our hose was already leaking. It cost $15.55 plus tax $1.44 totals of $16.99. We would buy another one somewhere in Wal-mart if we find it.

Tom filled up gas from Gilroy Chevron before we drove to Lost Hill Love’s gas station to fill up our truck again, as we knew there was few gas stations in between and very expensive. We stopped at a truck stop to cook noodle for dinner. We drove a little more and spent the night in the parking lot at Flying J at Lebec as it was getting late.
