After a reasonably long drive for us and a very short one for Gene and Mary we met up at The Ridge on Sedona Golf Course shortly after the 4 p.m. check-in. A very accommodating staffer slipped us the code for free WiFi (even in this ritzy Silver Crown Resort, they would still like to poke you for $5/day to check your email…).
The wine flag was raised and the still frozen turkey soup from home had a chance to thaw. It was great to see the Daniels and catch up on news and travels.
