Four More Days …
Sunday, December 20th, 2009… till our mini-vacation in Eloy. We’re heading down Christmas Eve (late in the day) and coming back early on the 29th (the dates are timed so that we could use free Southwest tickets without running afoul of blackout dates). We’ve rented a team room at the dropzone for the 24th-27th, and a hotel near the Phoenix airport for the 28th since our flight leaves very early in the morning. It’ll also save us a day on the rental car. The team rooms are a modest step up from the bunkhouse (where we’ve both stayed before). The one we’ve rented has four bunks and a mini-fridge (but since we’re renting the whole thing out we’ll have all the space to ourselves). We’ll still use the communal showers, but it should offer much more privacy and quiet than the bunkhouse, which tends to be full this time of year. The fridge will allow us to pick up some food for breakfast, lunch, and snacks to save having to eat every meal out.
