Back in the Air

It’s almost a challenge to tear ourselves away from warm days and glorious sunsets like this one.

Still, we’re on our way to the Southwest for a few days with daughter Karen and son-in-law Chuck.

Our outbound itinerary is mildly awkward. We fly Bellingham to Seattle to Phoenix, and overnight there for a few hours before flying to Albuquerque tomorrow morning.

We pick up a rental car, stock up at Costco, and drive about fours north to a remote ranch (Kathy’s family owns a share) near Pagosa Springs CO to spend a few days.

It’s not exactly as ambitious as our late May visit to Australia, but we’re looking forward to it.

It’s a beautiful night to fly over the San Juan Islands.

A good start to our little trip
