Oh how good it is to be home! Our pilot had a lead foot or there was a great tail wind as we got home 1/2 hour sooner than scheduled. We arrived home at 8:30 a.m., got Lexie and went to bed! I didn't get up till 5:00 when David woke me. We'd been up since Friday at 6:30 a.m. We neither one are good at sleeping on a plane sitting up and we took the Red Eye out of Phoenix at 11:30. Probably won't do that again.
Thurs. night found us in a lovely Holiday Inn Express in Phoenix. The intense heat of AZ kept us from going on a couple of excursions we had originally planned so Friday, we stayed in Phoenix and went to the zoo for just a couple of hours. We took a tram ride and saw the animals that were out in their habitats, spent some time petting sting rays, cooled off in the gift shop then headed to Old Town Scottsdale Fifth Avenue tourist shops. When we'd run out of energy, we headed back to the Jacobs' home to rest. Doe fixed us a lovely supper. Gotta hand it to my cousins, they found wives that can cook! Thanks again ladies. Around 8:00 p.m. we headed back to the airport and thanks to our GPS, we went right to the place we needed to find to return our rental car. Car rental was a new experience for us. Glad to report it is no big deal.
We are thankful for all the prayers for our safety. I know people fly all the time but I just can't take it for granted that a plane goes up and down safely like it is no big deal. I'll be putting pictures up on Facebook sometime soon. Thanks for going with us.
There's no place like home.
