Well I just got back from Tucson. What an amazing place!!!! It was my first time to Arizona, which is is just breathtaking. We stayed at a resort near the foothills of the Catalinas (i think it was the catalinas) anyways, it was just great! The gem show was awesome! I just can''t believe all of the stuff! I tried on some absolutely amazing stuff (waaaaaay out of my price-range of course!) Its nice, because there''s NO pressure there. We were in the wholesale shows, so there not playing these salesmen games at all! I got a few goodies, which I will post later, when I get my pictures uploaded to my pc. I''m dead beat tired right now.
We were supposed to get back late Sunday night to Green Bay with a connection in Atlanta. Well needless to say, GB was having a record blizzard, and Atlanta was having record thunderstorms! YIKES. We boarded our plane in Tucson, and sat stuck there on the runway for 2 1/2 hours before they''d let us take off. Then they wouldn''t let us land, so we circled around for over an hour. I got a little seasick with that one. Then our flight was canceled to GB and we had to spend the night at the airport (and being a light sleeper, sleep never came). All the flights into Wisconsin were booked for the next 2 days! (and the ticket agents were super rude and unhelpful to us) So we finally made a morning flight to Chicago and had to have my dear FIL come drive down (in another storm) and pick us up! And our luggage could be in one of about 6 different places.
Plus I got an ear infection from flying the first time (had just gotten over a bad cold) and flying with ear/sinus problems is one of the worst tortures I can think of.......I''m sure there are many of you who have had bad and/or worse flight experiences. This was a first for me, all of my flying had been relatively trouble free before this. Sigh.
Oh well. We''re home safely and that''s really all that matters. (plus I have a couple new sparklies)
