Sunday April 18, 2010 I left Flagstaff headed for Phoenix, headed for Atlanta Georgia for a training on Domestic Violence. The flight from Flag to Phoenix was a bit rough but the flight from Phoenix to Atlanta was so nice. We were treated to first class and let me tell you, that is the only way to fly!
We landed in Atlanta at 6:44 pm and faced a 3 hour time difference. We suffered from a good case of jet lag . Our motel was so awesome. Each room had a front room and bedroom, two big screen tvs, microwave and fridge. Just like home. The beds were so comfortable, good thing we were exhaustedl
This was the view of the motel from my 5th floor room. It looked like a jungle. There was a stream there with fish swimming in it. It was very relaxing. We were going to enjoy the next 4 days there.
Atlanta was so green and pretty. There are a ton of trees, shrubs and flowers. I loved it. Of course they get a lot of rain to make it green so you have to love the rain to live there. It rained one day while we were there. Atlanta is the home of Coca cola which was pretty hard for a Pepsi drinker. I learned the hard way not to ask for Pepsi!! I didn't see a Pepsi the whole time I was there. They must be true to Coke. We went to a french restaurant and at the end of the meal this was the plate we were brought. This is a first for me. Piggs as an after dinner delight. It was pretty funny.
The trip home wasn't as enjoyable. The flight from Atlanta was rough, but on a large airplane it is tolerable. We boarded the plane for Flag with a warning that the trip would be alittle rough and it was. We got to Flag and began the descent. The pilot came on and announced that the airport was under cloud cover and we would be in a holding pattern around the airport to see if the weather would clear. He stated that by law, they had to have 1/2 mile visability. Shortly they powered up and announced that we were headed back to Phoenix. Back through the bumps!! When we landed in Phoenix we had to wait for a shuttle to transport us back to Flag. That was a story in itself, but we finally made it. Gary had to wait for 6 hours for us to arrive. Shortly after arriving we headed for Utah to watch the girls run in a marathon. By the time we got to Utah, I had been up for 23 hours. I haven't done that for a long time and let me just say that the old gray mare ain't what she used to be!!
