Had a lovely week in Phoenix, AZ. I went there for a Defense Support of Civil Authorities training course. My first two nights there were spent doing my homework for Command and Staff, but I was able to venture out on Wed and Thurs to a local park, where these pics were taken. It was a really nice park with nice trails and nice views of the desert. I really liked Phoenix and wouldn't mind visiting again. Unfortunately, it was cold and rainy the first day of my arrival and on the cool side the rest of the week. I checked the weather before I packed, but could have packed warmer clothes!
Had a difficult time with my return on Friday the 13th. My flight left Phoenix at 3:41, with a connection in Chicago O'Hare. Never again will I route through Chicago! My connecting flight was supposed to leave at 9:15 but we didn't get off the ground until 11:45--after spending over an hour on the tarmac, stuck in the plane and in our seats. I arrived in NOLA after 2:00 am and wasn't in bed until almost 4:00 am. There are two airports most notorious for delays: New Orleans and Chicago.
So now I'm on my President's Day holiday, almost caught up with the sleep I missed!
