This mama needed a little break so I hopped a plane last Saturday
morning and headed to Phoenix for some fun in the sun and time spent with
friends and family I hadn't seen for a while.
About six weeks ago I booked a round trip ticket for $104, which I thought
was a fantastic buy. Nonstop from Boise
to Phoenix. I was up not so bright and
very early to walk the short distance from where I live to our airport.
It was so nice and quiet that morning and my prayers had been
answered. No rain. Everything I needed to take with me fit
inside a backpack and a small overnight bag.
I put on my backpack, stuck the bag on me with the strap crosswise and
off I went. There was absolutely no
traffic out so I literally walked down the middle of our street as I headed out
of our subdivision, simply because I could.
After checking in at the American Airlines kiosk I breezed through
security and before I knew it we were taking off. It was the first time I'd traveled on my own,
completely by myself, in so long, it felt a little weird. But I liked it!
My first night there I was treated to steak and lobster for
dinner. It was really good! Throughout the next four days I visited with
my friends, relaxed, ate well, had a few beers, talked, laughed and before I
knew it, it was Wednesday morning and time to head back to Boise. I wished everyone farewell, for now, and
headed back to the airport.

By the time my plane touched down I was ready to get back to
it. I missed my girls, my kitties and my
chickens. I missed my silly little
routines, cleaning my house, doing laundry and drinking my own coffee. When I walked through the door on Wednesday
afternoon I was very happy to be home once again and felt ready to get back to
it. Good thing too, because I only had about
an hour to myself before the rat race began again.
This little stinker really missed me |
Taking a break and getting away for a short time was just what I
needed to refuel my tanks and get myself re-energized.
Good for you!!!! We all need a break from time to time!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a nice break. Thank you.
DeleteI am so glad you were able to get away for a short period of time! that is wonderful. You are so busy and I know you needed it.
ReplyDeleteIt really forced me to unplug, decompress and relax. I needed it.
DeleteWow, that is a fantastic buy for an airplane ticket. I did wonder if something happened - but I agree, we all need a break every so often. Glad you had a nice time. It's always fun to go but great to be home again.
ReplyDeleteYep. This mama really needed some time out. I came back refreshed and ready for the next round. :)
