Tuesday was a short night in Phoenix. Boarded the bus at 7:30 am and headed to the airport. Check-in, security, wait, board, fly, etc. We lost those two hours we had gained so it was after 3:30 when we landed. So nice to walk out of the terminal and have a bus waiting for us. After we took our bags home, we went to Wendy’s for lunch/supper, then the grocery store, and then a glass on wine on the porch while listening to the soccer game in the stadium. Fun to travel. Great to be home.
Random thoughts: 1. The pastures in the West were much greener than usual for August. The cattle were laying down and resting not chasing a blade of grass. 2. The tiny house phenomena must have revived the tourist cabins of yore. We saw many and they looked new. 3. Every ranch/farmstead has a camper of some kind (from small pull ones to large RVs). Are they used to attend Rodeos? Vacation? Guest? 4. We traveled 2,374 bus miles. I heard more than one person say, “I could drive this, but I’m glad I’m not.” There was a lot to see. 5. We were reminded about the disparity of services between rural and city when one of our passengers needed medical help. We had to drive two hours to a small hospital to get her arm set. In Rockford, we live 2 miles from a large hospital with two other hospitals within city limits.
I would appreciate hearing from each of you: text, email, comment, etc. Writing a blog is a monologue. A dialogue would be nice. Thanks for traveling with us. Chuck, Stella, and N.
