Arizona Day 1

After 4 hrs of sleep the night before we left, finally we can catch up our sleeping in the plane. The flight from YVR to LA was arrived 30 mins early, however, the continuing flight from LA to Phoenix was delayed for 1.5 hrs. Yes.. 1.5 hrs we were inside the plane not moving. It's all because the stupid lavatory door was broken. Someone broke it. So, they have to fix it before they can fly according to stupid FAA rules. Then of course they don't have the spare part so they have to manually create the part to fix it. All those 1.5 hrs we spent with sleeping in the plane.

Anyway, Phoenix is 1 hr early than Pacific time. We arrived at the Phoenix airport almost 4;30pm local time. The wait continued while we had to wait for the luggage. Finally, we got our rental car out by almost 6pm. :)

So, we just drove all the way to Sedona about 2 hrs from phoenix. Since it is dessert, when driving in hwy it's really dark. The worst part, the place we're staying has no sign to guide us. Luckily, since it's a dessert, we could see a complex with a lot of lights so we decided to turn since the GPS navigation already said we passed it :) The complex indeed is the resort. The resort is kinda cute. Small cottages. It's kinda hard to see the whole area b/c (again) too dark hehehe :)

Overall, with all those issues, we're enjoying it.
BTW, we didn't get the Pontiac G6, they offer us Chevy HHR. http://www.chevrolet.com/hhr/?seo=goo_hhr

I thought why not.. give a try :) It's ok... I haven't taken the pic yet. Will do tmr.

At the meantime, I took some pics from the plane, the Hollywood from far far away :P

It's not a really good pic b/c I have to rush to get the camera ready, zoom it and take a quick pic while the plan moving away from it. I resize it to smaller size.


The temp at night drop to 3-5 Celcius at Sedona but I don't feel it as cold as in Vancouver, maybe because it's not humid as Vancouver. The temp in Phoenix is way higher abt 15 Celcius.
