As much as some of us like to travel, we haven't been able to get away since the spring trip to Hawaii (great trip!) Things have been a little hectic in our lives. Some of the older family members needing attention, a few other family members living in other states, coordinating travel plans difficult to make. As some of you know, our daughter Jen lives in AZ and we live in PA. Since the Thanksgiving holiday is about family, we knew we couldn't leave her in AZ alone. So we packed our bags, took our four legged girls to the kennel, contacted folks, coordinated plans and headed to AZ.
With PA being a tad wet and chilly, Tom and I were looking forward to warmth and plenty of sunshine that AZ is noted for. Our flight was broken into two parts. The first part took us from the Allentown, PA area to Washington, DC. What we didn't realize was that this first stretch was done courtesy of a small turbo prop plane. Oh dear.... but as you can imagine, we survived. The rest of the flight from Washington, DC to Phoenix, AZ was long but thankfully uneventful.
We landed in AZ after 9 pm AZ time (after 11 p.m PA time). As we were landing, the pilot noted that the tempurature was a nice 76 degrees. People cheered at that news. We were greeted by our wonderful daughter, Jen. As we walked to her car, it was great to shed the winter coats and enjoy the warm night air. Tired, we talked a bit with Jen and then crashed on her futon for the night.
