I'm posting from the PHX airport. We're waiting an extra hour, apparently some flights are late. Anyway, by 1ish we should be on our way for Southwest Splendors!
I've spent the past 3 days hikng in Sedona and all I can say is WOW. It is so gorgeous there! The red rocks are amazing and we just loved it. I'm really glad we did the pretrip, as I don't think the ABD does quite the same kind of hiking we did. (We were with some daredevil friends and definitely were off the beate paths! Not OSHA approved at all)
It will be nice to have a more rounded experience. We intentionally stayed away from things we knew we'd be doing on the tour.
The guides said there are 31 on this trip, 19 on the one they did last week. Lots of little kids and lots of boys on this one. DD11 is hoping the late planes will bring some tween girls. Meanwhile, she is sitting in a row of 5 kids all playing with their Nintendo DSs. We seem to be half return ABDers and half new to the trips. One father-daughter duo is on their 4th or 5th trip.
Not sure how much internet time we'll end up having, but I'll try to check back in soon. Yay, Adventure
