Hi everyone&#33;<br /><br />We got in on Thursday evening, but had a lot to do when we first got back, so haven&#39;t been able to chat until now.  We had a great time, and saw a lot of the Tucson and surrounding areas.  I would sure love to have a winter place there.  Just for the coldest winter months.  Oh well...I can dream.  LOL<br /><br />We went to Tombstone, where Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday hung out, and Old Tucson,where lots of movies were filmed, and historic downtown, and the airplane graveyard, &quot;boneyard.&quot; where acres of planes and helicopters are laid to rest by the government.  It&#39;s on the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.  We went to a beautiful old mission-church that was built in the 1600s, and we went to &quot;Ash Wednesday&quot; mass there.  We went on to Tubac, a nice little town with lots of great art and things to buy.  They had an art festival going on then.  <br /><br />My brother was so gracious to pay our airfare and drive us all over AZ.  He also took us out for dinner to a wonderful place that used to be a girls school for the privleged and celebrities.  It&#39;s a beautiful place, and the food is truly wonderful, and we had great views of the mountains and Tucson.  It&#39;s called &quot;Hacienda Del Sol.<br /><br />Anyway...we did more but we also relaxed at his place on Super Bowl Sunday and Monday.  <br /><br />We had a great flight home, and it was good for me to fly again.  To help get over the &quot;flying anxiety.&quot;  LOL  <br /><br />It&#39;s good to be back home, but, our weather went up to the 20s and 30s for a high while we were gone and now it&#39;s going back down below zero.  Oh well...spring is just around the corner.  And I have nice memories of a few great days in the sunshine now.   <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />Hope you are all well...I will try to catch up later.  Wow...just looked out the window and the winds are fierce and blowing snow all around.  It will be a cold night tonight.  Have to bundle up for church.  Talk to you all later.
