The plan for this morning was to head off for the Grand Canyon once Katie finished work today. However, we'd also decided to do washing this morning, because I was out of clothes. I went down to the laundry when Katie phoned to say she'd be late, only to find one of the driers empty. Yes, some fucker had stolen our clothes. And of course, most of mine were in there, because of the sed not having done any laundry until now. Shit that we didn't really want to deal with, as we were supposed to be leaving for a week long road trip.

After some deligating about what we were going to do, and it looking like we were going to postphone the trip, we hit the stores in Tempe to buy some new clothes. Once we were done, we quickly packed and decided that it'd be best to get the fuck out of dodge, rather than sitting around Tempe. Late in the afternoon, we hit the road.

Tell me how you'd feel, away from here, with Phoenix in our rear view mirror.

It became obvious as we left Phoenix behind, that we were alzo leaving our (clothes related) problems behind. It literally felt good to be out on the road getting away from Phoenix, on headed for northern Arizona and the Grand Canyon. We weren't far from Phoenix when we were cracking jokes about the clothes being stolen. Not that we weren't still pissed, especially given all my cool t-shirts were gone (including the very rare 'So Long Wongs' t-shirt).

We finally rolled into the town of ... close to 12am. Once again it was extremely colder up north, however, this time it wasn't snowing. We immediately went to check in, and then to our room - to find some really sweet digs. The room was two rooms (living and bedroom) and quite big. We were quite suprised. For the price ($119 US) and the location to the Canyon (1 mile) we couldn't believe the room we got. Definately the best room I'd stayed in (at that point anyway [wink] ).

We were both pretty exhausted, and before long were as;eep, with the intention of checking out the Grand Canyon tomorrow.
