OAK Airport - Sat, 1 Apr 2023, 7:40am
We were up this morning at 5:30am— "O-dark-30," as some call it— to begin our weekend trip to Phoenix. This is the trip I mused Monday has been on-again, off-again, on-again. Obviously now it's on! We were on the road this morning by 6:30am, driving to Oakland as the morning sky was only beginning to brighten. Dawn wouldn't break until we were most of the way to the airport.
Now we're here at the airport, checked in and waiting at our gate to board our flight. Phoenix is just 1:45 scheduled flight time away, though that clock starts an hour from now. If all goes well we'll be on the ground at 10:30, getting into a car not long after 11, and able to arrive at the hotel before noon. If our room's ready we'll check in, stow our bags, and then get lunch. If the room's not ready we'll get lunch then check in and stow our bags. 😅 Either way, once lunch is done and bags are stowed, we'll change into swimwear and go splashing around at the hotel's waterpark.
...Okay, that's quite a plan... and it all depends on things running smoothly today. We'll see how it actually turns out. Hey, sometimes things actually go right!
