Frisco, Colorado 2015 - Credit card learning day

We have all safely arrive in Frisco.  The Davids were the first to arrive around 2.  We were last at close to 5.  That worked great for us.  The fellows hit the liquor store and the gals took care of the groceries.  Anyway, the grocery store was the last of the credit card issues.  These started on Wednesday.

Son went to fill up his vehicle and the card wouldn't work.  Come to find out, I gave him and his sister the cards that they used the last year we when we were in Oklahoma.  That number had been compromised and those cards have been replaced.  When the new ones arrived, I threw away instead of the old ones. My bad.  Anyway, immediately called and company very kindly sent new ones for the children.  Because it was after 2 pm would would not get the cards until after they left. Loaned them our cards.  We would just use those on our trip out. They did arrive on time and all was good.

That is until daughter and family tried to fill up at 2 different stations in Goodland.  The card was declined. After calling, we learned that the credit card company wasn't the one declining but probably the gasoline companies.  I guess if you fill up too many times at he same company, they have a network to stop your card.  Just keep learning.  I had told our company that we would be filling up numerous times on several different days.

The last credit card issue was when the girls were purchasing our groceries.  Naturally, the fellas had both the credit cards.  Daughter was going to just use her card to pay.  Well, there was a stop on it as they hadn't told the credit card company they were on vacation.  Thank goodness we were just entering Frisco.  We stopped by the Safeway and gave them a card before coming on to the house.

We then headed on to our vacation rental.  WOW!  I must admit that once again I found a good place for us.  I do try to find a home with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms.  We just seem to get along better than way.  I found this one on Trip Advisor.  We've only been here one night but I would certainly recommend.  Here's the link.


Here are a few photos from the first day.
