Sedona

April 3
We had some delays on Hawaiian Air and didn’t get into Phoenix until 3:00 this morning only to discover that my big duffle bag with practically every necessity tightly packed inside didn’t make the flight with me. I had to fill out a claim before we could tuck ourselves into bed at the Marriott. We all took out trip insurance this time. It might just pay off! We slept until 11:00 and headed for Sedona. We have a gorgeous one bedroom condo just a few miles south of Sedona. I could move in here! A few of my dirty clothes were packed in my carryon. The washing machine is going as I write this. Hopefully my bag will catch up with me soon…
We dove up to town and had dinner at Oak Creek Brewery. Norm had tasted their beer and was excited to have another glass here in Sedona. We have put his on our list as a place for dinner with Faye and John.

Still no bag. With a pretty much a flawless couple of months travel in gorgeous and interesting parts of the US, I probably won’t get much sympathy about my lost bag. A long story made short, Hawaiian Air knows who has my bag and it’s not at the airport.

 Onward…We woke up to a beautiful morning and took Norm up to our favorite breakfast spot, the Wildflower Bread Co, and he fell in love. We sat on the patio looking across to beautiful red rock formations sipping our coffee with our yummy breakfast. We noticed an RV park down by the creek and stopped by for information for future visits. We won’t always have our gorgeous condo to rest our heads. We outlined our week after a visit to the local visitor center. Faye and John will meet up with us tomorrow morning. We did a little driving to show Norm around including a drive down to Sedona State Park and a beautiful loop drive. We shopped a little bit at Tlaquepaque, a beautiful high end shopping and dining area and had an early dinner looking out to the red rock with the late afternoon sun giving them an extra shot of red color. For our evening entertainment we went shopping with my $100.00 insurance money that is meant to tide one over when bags are lost. A walk along the touristy shops led to a cute Sedona sweatshirt and I filled a bag with necessities with a trip to Walgreens. After a Margarita and the shopping trip I was overcoming my frustrations. I won both our games of cards and was feeling even better.
