When I stop over in a city en route from Point A to Point B I like to call it "8 hours and a shower in ___." That's not accurate for last night's stop in Phoenix. One, we'll been here more like 10 hours. Two, I'm not taking a shower. I plan to get dirty & sweaty during the day. I'll take one this evening to clean up & cool down. Anyway, our 8-10 hours and not-shower in Phoenix have been... as dull as that phrase is meant to imply.
Our flight to PHX last night was uneventful. We left pretty much on time and got in pretty much on time. Edited to add: Oh, and it was 100° F (38° C) when we landed just after 8pm. The daytime high had been 105. This is only late spring weather in Phoenix. In the summer daytime highs will top 110° frequently.
Could we have driven all the way to Sedona last night, as I remarked in my previous blog? Yes, though I'm glad we didn't. Everything after the plane landed seem to take forever. Our hotel is just a mile from the airport, yet we didn't get to our room until almost 9:45pm. Driving to Sedona would have taken until almost midnight. And I was totally ready for sleep before 11. I'm glad I wasn't driving 2 more hours.
This morning we'll drag our stuff back down to the car, get some breakfast at a nearby place like Del Taco— because the free breakfast at the hotel is all sugar-and-carbs crap— and hit the road for Sedona.
