Who knew . . . a trip to sunny Arizona in the middle of a freezing cold NYC winter was a great idea?
I decided to take the long weekend in January and make it even longer by taking an extra day off of work. I left New York early in the early morning when the temperature high that day was expected to be around 11 degrees and the windchill that morning made it feel even colder. I bundled up, braved the cold and made it to the airport. After a nice relaxing flight (I was flying with US Airways so I was relieved there were no ducks, no water landings, no ferry rides back to shore) I landed in warm and sunny Phoenix where I quickly shed the wool coat, scarf, gloves, hat, and extra sweater. I felt like I walked out of winter and into late spring. It was sooooo nice.
I spent the weekend playing and relaxing with my cousin Kim and her husband Bud and visited Brady and Lance and Lance's wife Ruth. My trip was a perfect blend of fun and relaxation: hiking, golfing, delicious food, softball spectating, church, and a lot of time catching up.
Let's just say my return to work on Tuesday was not as warm, relaxing or as enjoyable as my weekend in Arizona.

I still have a hard time believing cacti like this one really do exist.
It looks like one you would see in the movies!
