Sedona Trip: Day 1

Well, we made it! We made it to Sedona yesterday at 8:54 a.m. The day
before, Nikka and Mommy got a Dodge Caliber from Thrifty. Man, it's
nice.
We met my coworkers at my job at 6:00. The trip was very easy, but I
thought we should follow them. Traffic wouldn't allow that, so after
we got lost for a minute getting onto the I17, we got found and all
was well. We ended up stopping at this McDonald's. When we got there,
guess who had alson just pulled up? My coworkers.
We laughed,cuz though they had tried to call, I didn't hear the phone,
So I had no way of knowing where they were. Anyway, after that, we
drove straight here.
The conference started at 9:30, and we were definitely on time.
I asked my sister to find me a place near a plug. S3e did. I was in a
corner, but I didn't mind. I didn't want my BrailleNote to lose
porwer. Trust me. The night before, I had dealt with 27 documents for
this conference. That was a lot. Plus my Star Wars book for when
things got kinda boring. I couldn't face not having battery power.
Anyway, the conference went well. We ate at the restaurant for lunch.
All I have to say about that f9od is, very good, but toooooo
expensive. I had a mandarin chicken salad with a cup of iced tea. My
bill was $15.36. My sister had chicken tenders and a cup of iced tea.
Her bill was $10.93. But this is a hotel--a resort even--so what do I
expect?
Our hotel is the Radisson Poco Diablo Resort in Sedona, AZ.
Towards the end of the conference, we got our room. Beautiful room
with Sleep Number queen-sized beds. The girl at the desk had taken a
liking to us For rasons unknown to us. We liked her too. very friendly
and personable. She showed us the room herself.
Once all was over, we found food. We wanted to hurry up befor it got
dark. We settled on Joey's Italian Restaurant. After driving round and
round, we finally got to it. It was a real Italian restaurant. I
ordered the chicken parmigiana--as always. Nikki ordered fettuccini
with sausage.
The food was absolutely excellent. We had hot bread and salad too. My
meal came to $22.63.
When we got back to our room, I had one aim and one goal--SLEEP. nikki
just knew I would be up reading my Star Wars' but not me. After she
helped my hair, cuz it had gotten wet with the rain, I read a few
emails, and went promptly to bed.
My sleep was good. I woke up once and watched a little TV with her,
and then I talked to Chris, and went back to bed.
I awoke this morning at 4:15 to a dog full of excitement. It was his
parktime. We left the room with me praying to God that we would make
it back quickly and safely.
We found our way to the rocks for him to pea, but I got lost coming
back. We walked around and around. I called Nikka, but she was
snoring, oblivious to any phones. I even called the hotel to get them
to transfer the call to my room, but to no avail.
I heard a guy coughing, I latched onto the sound. I turned his way and
asked for directions. He said to follow the path and make a left. He
watched me, and I did it. T3ank you, Jesus.
Right i s'ti
