Arrival and Day 1

We had one of those small two-two planes, and we sat in front of the exit row, so I didn’t have a window, even though I sat in a window seat. It sucked. That plane was so small, like small. We had a 175 MPH tail wind, so our 3 hour and 7 minute flight turned into a 2 hour and 20 minute flight, which was pretty sweet. Once we got there and got to the Rental Car Center, and upgraded to an SUV, we went to go and pick which one we wanted. We went to the row and there was an Infiniti FX35. My dad didn’t believe that it was for us to take, but he asked the guy and he said yeah. We got loaded up and one of the guys who cleans the cars and brings them back came up to us and told us that it shouldn’t be here. He then gave us a sticker that would allow us to take the car. So we have like a fully loaded Infiniti FX35. It’s pretty sweet.

So today we went out to the Glendale Arena (officially called Jobing.com Arena, but I hate that name) and got our Coyotes tickets. That will be fun. We then drove out to Usery Mountain Recreation Area to take pictures of the sunset, which can be seen at my Flickr page. Anyways, we took the pictures and came back to our hotel and found the Border Patrol. It turns out that they didn’t like us coming into the country and we are being deported tomorrow. Just kidding, we don’t know why they’re here, but they are. Anyways, I’ll be updating Flickr and here over the course of my vacation.

Oh, and on Friday night, we went to the mall across from our hotel and guess what is in there. An Apple Store. How awesome is that? An Apple Store right across the street. This is going to be fun. And I found out that the Coyotes Den does lettering and stuff, so I think I’m going to do that with my jersey. It will be really cool once all is said and done. We got some pretty good tickets for the game Thursday night, like row 16. We could have had row 13, but my dad didn’t want to sit on that end of the ice.
