Arizona Arrival, Toby Keith's

One day later than scheduled, I finally arrived in Phoenix, AZ. Immediately i removed my jacket - an SF necessity - as the weather here is already proving to be gorgeous. My friend C picked me you from the airport and took me to Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar & Grill." I wish we had one in SF! Lots of filling food, good looking servers (in the Hooters league), and the bar is shaped like a guitar! Gonna be honest - service was slow, but we weren't in a rush, so no big deal. Wednesday night is karaoke night, with a twist: live band behind you. I would need a few drinks to participate, but super fun and above average singers. Only bar that van het away with serving drinks in red plastic cups, beers in mason jars, and basically a little something from each of Mr. Keith's songs.

Time to rest up for a big day tomorrow of laying in the sun :-D

Taking off to Hawaii!

I know it has been a few days since I last posted. I have been working/preparing for Hawaii! Few new, out of the normal, events in my travels today.

I met an awesome dude when I got to the airport. We checked in,  went through security, and ended up having airport dinner together! Normally when I go to catch a flight, I'm focused on making sure I check in properly and get to my gate with plenty of time to spare. This was a welcome change of pace!

Other new thing: I just landed in Hawaii after 5 hours of chasing the sunset! Aloha! (Yes I'm going to rub this in over the next few days - too excited!)

P.S. I'm posting from my phone so pictures will all be caption-less for a while

Home for the next few nights :)
