Well, trip hysteria came and went. I made my flight (didn't even go to bed) As always the trip was uneventful... well except for the near miss mid-air collision when we were on final approach into Sky Harbor! What a strange experience that was!
I wanted to post yesterday but there were internet access troubles in our room. Luckily, we got them resolved, so here's a handy wrap up of things, flights... made 'em, luggage... got 'em, car... got it with some quirks but a good deal!
We got to the car rental place and everything is going smoothly but the guy didn't write down the plate number (he's new) so after wandering around the garage with probably an easy 100 cars, he decides screw it and changed the paperwork and viola! We got a PT Cruiser Convertible!
This was actually a very lucky thing as we would have literally had to drive back to the airport because of all the luggage. I didn't have to bring as much, my companions had quite a bit because they needed to have work, dress and evening clothes etc.etc.
The only other snag was the car rental guy... also because he's new, he gave us totally whacked out directions, we were so lost (and NOT in a neighborhood you wanted to be in!) it took us more than an hour just to reach the point where we got to the point to where the original "40 minutes from the airport timeframe" we should have had all along.
So part of my errands for today included getting directions from the concierge. Bing, bang, boom... right up to the front door of the car rental place. Did a "uiey" and thought, "Cool! Now we don't have to leave super early on saturday morning to make the airport!
Today it got to around 86 degrees and it seems very strange to think that I'm on the same planet where just yesterday I was entering the airport with a whopping 6 degrees on the temperature gauge!
Today was also a day of, well, I don't know how to say it... good byes and new beginnings. I just took the day at face value and went toolin' around with the top down, the tunes blasting, the sun shining and my hair whipping around in such a way that it'll probably take a half a bottle of conditioner to comb out the tangles.
I have no regrets, a little sadness, but mainly just answers to my questions and now I don't have to worry anymore. The door is closed. There is a part of me that wishes for it could have stayed open longer, but such is life.
Well, I'm hungry so it's off to find food. My partners in crime are sadly attending an evening function both would have loved to ditch out of!
Me? After dinner, it's Invasion, the last two chapters of my book about the history of Scotland Yard and early bed. Tomorrow I plan to spend the morning in the pool (no direct sunlight) then sit outside and work on my writing! I love this laptop big time when it comes to that!
