We're on our way!

This is a picture that Annette took with my phone.

Obviously we are flying. Obviously we are on a Southwest Plane.

Not so obvious is that we are on our way to Arizona with my Mom.

The flight was smooth most of the way except for the screaming kid at the beginning of the flight. He definitely did not want to be in the seat belt and he was letting everyone know!

The trip went well. We didn't have to wait in lines.

-Not for a bus at the parking lot.

-Not to drop off the luggage. Ok, there was one group ahead of us.

-Not to buy a muffin.

-Not to buy a book.

-Not to get on the bus to the rental car counter. In fact we were the only ones on the bus!

-Not at the rental car counter.

-Not at the hotel.

We did have to wait in line to get through security, but the line kept moving.

We did have to wait in line to board the plane, but the line kept moving.

When we rented a car, we wanted something larger for the suitcases and in case we wanted to drive with Sandy and Dave or with Becky. So the guy at the rental car counter talked us into a Buick Enclave. It's big; third row seating. And it's fancy; leather seats, burled wood on the dash board, back up camera, captain's chairs in the second row, etc. The only bad part will be the gas mileage. Oh well, we only have it for a week.

This evening we went to Sandy and Dave's house in Phoenix and then out to dinner at Marie Calendar's (sp). We had a good time. Sandy and Annette were laughing like young school girls. Sandy said my mothere was a beautiful lady. All in all a very good visit.
