Arizona Day 4 - Sedona, Arizona (4/17/05)

Again we're up at 5am, but this time it's because of a damned wrong number! (I think it was better when we had no cell phone service like at the Grand Canyon, hehe). For once, we start the day slowly by watching a little tv since we're only planning to do a little walking around uptown Sedona before heading for the airport. But then, we see some info about Tlaquepaque, a cute little shopping village within town and decide to checkout earlier. So, we pack up, get breakfast, load the car, and forget to checkout!

We first drive to Airport Mesa, take a few pics and try to feel the vortex . There were some people holding hands, praying at the site since it's supposed to be a spiritual vortex of sorts. And since you asked, I felt nothing and saw no white lights... :-)
Then, we drive to Tlaquepaque, walk around the little town, see the galleries, go into a few shops, and most importantly, take lots of portraits with our now favorite prop, my new fedora hat bought from an Indian Trading post on the way from the Grand Canyon. We're so glad we decided to visit this place rather than going to touristy uptown Sedona.

We have a nice outdoor lunch at a Mexican restaurant, say it with me: yummy chimichanga, yummy chimichanga... :-)

Our vacation is now almost at an end, we drive to Flagstaff airport, checkout of the hotel by phone (hehe), fly to Phoenix, then get on the redeye to Newark. While boarding, a woman starts choking and the flight attendant keeps doing the Heimlich maneuver on her, she really doesn't seem to need it beause she can kind of talk. Anyway, she's better in a few minutes but we're delayed leaving and eventually arrive at 2am to home sweet home, New Jersey. :-)
