Phoenix late April travelog #3
Arizona Grand Hotel - Friday, 28 Apr 2023, 7:45am

When Hawk and our friends and I were discussing plans last night we agreed that we'd do an evening soak in the hot tub between 9-10pm, hang until maybe 11pm, get up this morning around 8, and meet for our first laps at the lazy river around 10. It was a grand idea for a relaxing vacation. But then my body had other ideas.

I zonked out not long after 9pm with no energy for the hot tub. Fortunately everyone else was tired, too, so I didn't miss out on much. Then I woke up this morning a little after 5am. That was definitely not my plan! 😡 Blame it on a combination of jetlag (I was in a timezone 2 hours ahead the previous 7 days) and Arizona not doing Daylight Saving Time— so the first light of dawn was already brightening our room through the balcony doors before 5:30.

Being out of alignment with my own plans feels frustrating. At the same time, though, I remind myself I'm on vacation. This is purposefully a relaxing vacation, so keeping a schedule doesn't matter as much as other times. But still, the purpose of making— and keeping— a schedule is to ensure I have opportunities to enjoy myself while doing stuff. Just sitting around the hotel at odd hours is relaxing... but also frustrating because I'm paying a lot to be here. If I just wanted to sit around and relax, I could do it at home for free.
