A NEW ADVENTURE DOWN SOUTH

So today began reallllllly early!  Brenda picked me up at 5:45 a.m.  After not very much sleep last night, I was still ready and excited to be on the way.

The drive to the airport was uneventful and quite quick.  Managed to see the sun come up and get into the boarding lounge relatively quickly.  I was flying West Jet and so glad that I wasn't flying Air Canada as with the storms and bitter cold weather in the east, many flight were delayed or cancelled altogether.  The check in counter was very busy with long lines, however, the WestJet counter was quite empty.  

I was surprised that although the temperature at YVR was about 0 the plane still went through de-icing.  So even with that extra time on the ground, we are still going to arrive in Phoenix at 12:45 p.m.  It is a great time to arrive.  The sun is shining and the temperature is about 18 Celsius.

I wasn't going to bring my little puter, but couldn't resist the chance to add to my blog.  I can still add this to the blog and print it out in a book of my adventures.  

Mike and Sharon were there to pick me up and on the way to their house, we stopped in Kierland and had a lovely lunch at Zinc Bistro.  One of Mike and Sharon's favourite Restaurants. It was lovely and delicious.  

We arrived at their house around 4:00 and I settled into my lovely room for my stay.  I am pretty sure it will be a quiet night and an early bed for me!
