Hey there!
I got home at about 11:00 pm (EST) last night, the plane was about 15 minutes early from Phoenix. I thought of all of my S2K family that lived out there in Phoenix and waved and blew them a kiss!
I was AMAZED at how developed Phoenix was, especially around the South and East of the city. I knew it was a big metropolitan area and very popular but WOW!
The airport had spectacular views of the mountains and some red rock formations. You could barely breath when you came off of the plane into the tunnel that lead you to the terminal because it was so hot. On the way back, we flew over the Rockies, but the cloud eck was so low that I couldn't see them too well. I did however notice the rugged, mountainous terrain in northern Arizona.
On Thursday I had about two hours and a half to kill so I ate at the Tequileria and had a scrumptious Strawberry Margarita (and plenty of smokes)!
My visit was nice - we had a picnic up in the mountains by Black Hawk a casino town in CO and then on Saturday we took a train ride from Denver to Winter Park. The Nicorette helped me over the humps, but I didn't quit smoking (I probably wasn't focused enough). At any rate, it was a nice, relaxing visit.
I see that when I live my home on the East Coast and head West, the lights go out!
I was watching CNN at the Phoenix airport praying that it wasn't a terrorist attack and relieved when they at first thought it was lightning.
I see I have alot to catch up on in the board! Thanks again to everyone for your advice and well wishes!

BTW - do you notice that one or two posters seem to have football helmets in their sigs or avatars??
