Up, up, and away

Up, up, and away

We arrived at the Tulsa international airport 2 1/2 hours before our flight was to depart.  Good thing we did. When we arrived at the ticket counter, we were informed your fight had been switched due to delays, and would be departing within the hour. The only down fall to the switch, was we had to fly to Detroit to catch a plane to Phoenix.

I have flown several times in the past couple years, both inside and outside the U.S. For whatever reason, every time I go through airport security I get pulled out to have my hand swabbed for explosive residue, and padded down. My friends get to walk right through, but not me, I must look like a trouble maker.

 All in all, it was a good day the flights were smooth, and we were able to make our connections on time.  I enjoy traveling, not a big fan of flying, the take-offs and landings concern me the most. I guess, like many others I have a fear of crashing, I understand that flying is safer than driving, but, in a car I feel I have more control over my destiny.

By the time we landed in Phoenix it was dark. As we were driving to Prescott to stay the night, I was curious as to what the region looked like, my friend tried to explain it to me, since she grew up in the area. I found it hard to visualize, I guess I will have to wait till daylight to see for myself.
