Palm trees and cactus

You know you're on vacation when you step off the plane on a 70 degree afternoon and want to shake hands with a saguaro cactus.  I'll tell you though, having flown from the top of our country to the bottom today, the weather looks pretty bad everywhere. Nothing out the window except a gray blanket of clouds below. That is, until you get to Tucson. Clear desert air and blue skies.  And probably a lot of stars tonight if I had the energy to go out and take a look.  Tomorrow is another day, and best of all...the first day of vacation.
