My plan was to start off 2012 differently than prior years. My daughter and I were going on a trip over New Year's weekend. Our initial plan was to drive to Niagara Falls with my sister and her husband. After many phone calls and Internet searches, our New Year's destination changed to the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is my sister's favorite place. We had a busy itinerary:
1. Fly from Philadelphia to Phoenix.
2. 1 night in Phoenix.
3. Visit Sedona/Montezuma's Castle/Tuzegoot
4. Drive to Flagstaff.
5. New Year's Eve in Flagstaff for Pine Cone Drop.
6. Drive to Grand Canyon and stay for 3 days.
7. Take the Red-Eye home on Wednesday.
8. Back to work/school on Thursday.
Our trip actually went something like this:
1. Fly from Philadelphia to Phoenix.
2. 1 night in Phoenix.
3. Visit Sedona/Montezuma's Castle/Tuzegoot
4. My daughter got sick (24 hr virus) on Saturday. Spent all day in our Flagstaff cabin.
5. Drove to Grand Canyon on Sunday. My daughter was still not feeling well.
6. I got sick on Sunday night.
7. Spent all day Monday in room.
8. Felt a little better Tuesday. Spent time at the Grand Canyon.
9. Drove back to Flagstaff.
10. Arranged for an earlier flight to Philadelphia on Wednesday.
11. Still not feeling 100% on Thursday.
12. Back to work/school on Friday.
I am planning on staying home in the near future. In a few days/weeks/months, I hope to only remember the 2 fabulous days of the trip and the breathtaking view of the Grand Canyon.
Happy New Year to the readers and followers of this blog!
