1/26/18 Tucson, Arizona

We caught an early flight out of Providence this morning and have arrived in our home-away-from-home here in Tucson.  Our flight from Providence to Chicago was uneventful except for a bit of turbulence as we were landing.  Our next flight, however, was a bit different.  We had a maintenance issue with the landing gear so we sat on the tarmac for a half hour or so until that was straightened out and then when we got to Tucson, we were coming in for a landing when all of a sudden we lifted off again.  The pilot came on and said there was another plane on our landing strip so he circled around and came back around for another go.  We had a long walk to the rental car place, but it actually felt good to stretch our legs after being confined to a seat most of the day.  We have a Toyota RAV4 and Dave is thrilled because it is bright red.  We found our home - very nice.  I will take pictures tomorrow.  We went out to dinner and having had no lunch, we were pretty hungry.  We then  did a bit of grocery shopping as we have to get up early tomorrow to go on a Buffelgrass pull and we will need breakfast and will have to pack a lunch.  I will tell you all about it tomorrow.  So just a short note to let you know that we arrived safely.  I think the temperature was about 70 this afternoon - quite pleasant.
