Reporting from Payson

[glacier_kitty]

So the two flights went fine (except for the screaming babies, ugh). One of our geocaching friends and his wife was on the plane too! Awesome haha. I didn't even try to sleep on the redeye..I'm so miserable and uncomfortable it's not really worth it, so I watched the in-flight movies instead (there's now an app where you can put their entertainment system on your iPad or whatever device you have..cool!). I watched Despicable Me 2 (I had to see the Minions everyone raves about haha..they're definitely hilarious :P) and Gravity. That movie annoyed the heck out of me..it's basically just Sandra Bullock flailing around and freaking out in space. I think it's kinda overrated..Interstellar was definitely better. Since I didn't sleep I guess that was my first "real" all-nighter (I haven't slept on redeyes before, but I always went to sleep before the sun came up). On the second flight one of the pilots was a woman! Sweet, that is so awesome. :D :D There needs to be more! I got to see the Grand Canyon from the air..so cool!! I don't remember seeing it from the air before. After we landed in Phoenix we picked up the rental car and started the drive to Payson (I think without stopping it takes a little over an hour to get there from Phoenix). Even though we were tired, we couldn't resist getting three geocaches on the way haha. The drive was interesting and beautiful! The cacti look so cool and the mountains are lovely. Even so, I was relieved when we finally got to Payson since I was tired and really had to go to the bathroom (TMI lol sorry). We ate at Chili's and then went to the house. It's pretty cool..the views are great! It's weird seeing stuff from Texas again. I was looking through some of my stuff and didn't even remember some of it (like school projects and stuff). So weird. I definitely took a long nap, so nice. I got into my PJs at 4 PM and didn't even care. :P I think I'll go to bed early too. Later!

OMG I totally empathize with how miserable you were on redeyes... I take them so often yet I can never fully sleep on them. The last one I took, Matt gave me half of one of his Ambien and it worked so well... It literally knocked me out for the entire flight from California to New Jersey, I woke up as soon as the plane touched down in Newark! It was pretty awesome haha.

Despicable Me 2 is a super cute movie! I still haven't seen the first one haha. I also felt the same way about Gravity - way overrated. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way!

Enjoy your first night in Payson, yay!! You are kind of my neighbor now lol... As far as being in a state that borders me hehe. :P
