Phoenix Revisited

Dear Imaginary Friends, 

A year and a half ago, my husband and I traveled to Phoenix and Sedona, Arizona in January. Brr, it was chilly. Here is what happened:

Day One,  fly to Phoenix. It was a five hour flight, and our pilot was an aspiring stand up comedian. Hey, just cuz Sully is our new hero, don't let it go to your head, Captain. All  pilots are not the same.

Phoenix has a reputation for being the capital of bad haircuts and hair dos, and when we landed at  the airport, I was dying to find out if that were true. Sadly, it most definitely is! It's a hair don't.

We drove straight to Sedona, a beautiful if stark drive, with lots of saguaro cacti, red rocks,  impressive mountain formations, and a slew of new age goings on. There are about four vortices here, supposedly, where currents of electrical or magnetic force are said to run.

We went to one after dinner and I experienced a feeling of pressure in my head.

Which leads to the next phenom: a plethora of spas! I guess they help get rid of your pressure headache.

There are jeep tours, with views from above. The Grand Canyon is our destination for tomorrow, but the news warns of a bunch of snow falling and little visibility.

Perfect scenario: we struggle up the high country through the snow in our little rental car, only to miss the road and drive into the canyon, Thelma and Louise style. Well, if we are stuck here another night, I would really not complain...it is gorgeous. So much here has landscape painting potential.

Need any crystals?

Your Imaginary Friend,
