9:48 AM Phoenix, AZ: Having left Boise on time, winging toward Phoenix with the anticipation of an hour on the ground and a mocha to be rescued from Starbucks, I settled in to listen to an old Jack Benny radio show from 1942 on my iPod. We were probably in the air for about forty five minutes when I realized that my nose felt a little funny. Within a few more seconds I had figured out – and Valerie confirmed – that I had a great nosebleed in the making… a real gusher. Great timing, nose.
I spent several minutes in the lavatory trying to mop things up and somehow get back to “normal”. Yes indeed… this trip is off to a great start!
6:31 PM Tampa, FL: We survived the connecting flight from Phoenix to Tampa. There wasn’t anything out of the ordinary about the flight to comment on, other than it was sold out. What this means is that Valerie likes the window seat, and demands that I sit next to her. On a full flight, this translates into “I get the middle seat and wait for some big fat guy to come and grab the aisle seat”. Mission accomplished. He showed up right on schedule!
We’re with Valerie’s father in law as we drive north on Interstate 75 toward The Villages. It’s currently 81 degrees, with the sun getting very low in the sky. I imagine we’ll try to find a bite to eat when we arrive, and then I’ll have to try and get the bike assembled tonight so we can join the locals for their morning ride.
