Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 15 years old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

We got up really early (3:45am AZ time) this morning to head back to the Phoenix airport since my brother’s flight was departing at 6:10am. After seeing him off through security in Terminal 3, I took the shuttle over to Terminal 4 to check my bag for my own flight home.

When it was finally time to board, the place was packed. There were flights heading out to Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, and Tampa all about the same time, and all of them were oversold. It was a tempting offer to give up my seat on the Tampa flight: two nights’ hotel accomodations (since the next flight they could book you on was Tuesday!), a free roundtrip ticket, and a first class seat on that Tuesday flight to Tampa. Too bad I have to go back to work tomorrow, so I did not give up my ticket. 🙁

The flight home was uneventful, and I slept most of the way. It’s hard to believe its all over … what a great time we had in Arizona over the past three days. I’m exhausted.
