Anchorage to Portland=3.5 hrs. Portland to Phoenix=2.3 hrs.
We both try to nap en route. It's like twilight sleep....kinda awake but
kinda sleeping. Arrive Phoenix @ 10:25 am. The temperature leaving Alaska
was below zero, landing in Phoenix, it's 55 degrees. Now we're talking.
As we walk toward the baggage area, we see no Starbucks coffee kiosks in
terminal 2. We were looking forward to using our Starbucks coffee cards
given to us as Christmas presents.
Take the Super Shuttle to Sun City & right to our waiting motorhome. I
scrutinize the outside basement areas & Kathy checks the inside.
Everything looks good. It's been stored for 3 months on the North side of
this big shop since we drove here from Pennsylvania last October 14th. I
talked with Al & Wilma a few weeks ago & they said they would be camping @
Quartzite when we arrive so now not much is happening on these 12 acres.
We have little food in our freezer so it's off to grocery shopping @
Trader Joe's & Fry's. $200.00 later, our home on wheels is a little better
stocked up.
Now I start the Detroit Diesel engine & reposition our coach to the West
side of the shop where we will have a full hookup. Keeping our coach here
during our Alaska visits has worked out well for us & Al has done a good
job of keeping a close eye on it.
7:00 pm Dinner: Delicious Italian sausage, red peppers & onions, fresh
salad & toast.
No suitcase or box unpacking tonite, we're too tired. We watch a little TV
using our antenna for local channels. It's comforting to be back in our
home on wheels again.
It's also comforting to know that Zack has made it safely to Seattle. He
called us nightly, reporting on his progress. He did make the stops he
intended and had no trouble. He sounds quite happy and pleased with
himself. His furniture and belongings are due to arrive tomorrow as
planned so that he can get moved into his apt before starting his new job
on Monday.
Lights out: 10:19 pm.
