Arizona, Day 1
As I'm perched in seat 19A, I peer out the window at the patchwork of fields below me. What state are we flying over right now? Where is the closest emergency exit? Will the woman next to me notice if I snatch up her Prada bag? Taking a vacation is always fun and exciting but it doesn't go without its moments of anxiety. There are plenty of things to worry about when traveling: arriving to the airport on time, making it through security, lift off, turbulence, using the bathroom on the plane (need I say more?) and the list goes on and on. It's been over four years since I've been on a real vacation so I'm trying to take everything in stride. My husband and I need this vacation and we are so lucky to have close friends and family to stay with our girls while we're gone. So, after many months of planning, we're on our way to Arizona to celebrate my cousin's wedding and to spend the week with loved ones. There are about ten of us who rented a house in Tuscan and then at the end of the week, we'll hike over to Phoenix to finish off the vacation with a fabulous wedding. Add some pool time, a trip to Tombstone, cave tours and a spa day and we've got a great getaway! Have you ever been to Arizona? What is your favorite memory or place to visit? Give me some traveling tips in the comments!
