We met up with our friends at Phoenix airport at lunchtime, more or less at the time we had planned. Our drive from Cathedral City to Phoenix was uneventful, with good road surfaces to drive on, for the most part. J took over the driving (a relief for me!), and we soon were on the outskirts of the city when we decided to stop for lunch. I had never eaten before at Denny's (apparently a well-known chain in the US and Western Canada) and was well pleased with the service, the quality of the food and the prices.
Back on the road we made good time with J at the wheel, and apart from one slight glitch in navigating (our printed instructions from Google Maps did not correspond with either common sense or the garmin GPS system J had brought along) we made it to the resort by 6 pm
A quick shopping trip to purchase the necessities (Mount Gay rum, Jamieson's Irish whisky, wine and Guinness draft in cans ... oh! and some food for breakfast), we came back to check email and plan activities for the rest of the week. M is very tired and has gone to bed. We will soon follow, and tomorrow is going to be a fairly light day.
It's going to be a great week. J has a wonderful sense of humour, and M enjoys a good laugh too. What a treasure to have such friends!
Time for bed, said Z...
