Crikey. Why Am I Being Diverted To Phoenix?
SITREP
Okay. So I probably should have paid closer attention to the flight-schedule when my uncle and I were making reservations for my return flight from Spokane to Sacramento.
But a layover in freakin PHOENIX?!? Jiminy. It takes much longer to fly to Phoenix than to Sacramento. And THEN, it's also longer to fly to Sacramento from Phoenix than it would have been to fly between Spokane to Sacramento directly.
INSULT TO INJURY
Talk about getting the ultimate run-a-round. What would be a normal hour and 45 minute flight now takes six (6) and a half hours! [Welcome to my world.]
GRAND CANYON
Okay oKay. Now what mitigated these circumstances a bit was the fact that we flew RIGHT OVER the Grand Canyon and we got to see a lot of the beauty and expansive reach of this wonder of nature.
Take a look at the pictures and get you sense of the feel I had fun seeing it.
THE LOWDOWN
So I may not have enjoyed the total waste in terms of overall "flight & layover time", but on this occasion what a treat to see the Grand Canyon for the first time, so thank you.
