Trip to Phoenix

Well my trip went well but it sure does make for a long day.

I take the 6am flight out of Indy as it gets me there about 8am so I have the whole day to be in the office. But that means waking up at 4am to get to the airport.

So I set the alarm Wed night - but never turned it on. I normally don't sleep well on nights before I fly and I'm glad of that as I looked at the clock and it was 4:30am. Well that got the heart going and got us out of bed. We were out the door just before 5 and because there was no traffic got there about 5:15 (on normal days it can take us a 1/2 hr to get to the airport). Good thing I printed my boarding pass the day before - I was able to make it thru security and to the gate just as they started loading. That gave me a chance to get a muffin and something to drink (US Airways is now charging $2 for a CAN of soda and $5 for a snack box filled with something).

We make it to Phoenix (about 45 minutes late because Indy doesn't know how to de-ice planes quickly which caused a bunch of people to miss their connections) and I get the rental car and off I go. I slept maybe an hour and a 1/2 of the 2 -3 hour flight so I was a bit groggy getting off.

I get to the supplier, get settled in and promptley spill part of my bottle of sprite into my work bag. So everything is now sticky - I'm going to need to really wipe the thing out to get rid of the rest of the stickyness. Good thing I didn't get any soda on my laptop or on my paperwork. It mostly got all over the cords in the bottom of the bag.

Everything else was pretty much un-eventful - didn't sleep much last night at the hotel and got to the airport about 3 hours early since I knew I would find a good spot to spread out and do some work. Landed about 4:30 and got home a little after 5pm. Now to make dinner and relax for the weekend.
