Plane Tickets 2

Just a week and a half to go and I will be able to purchase the ticket for Costa Rica. The return flight we had been watching filled up according to Expedia, but it is still open according to Delta. The seats available are going fast. If I could I would buy the ticket today, but I just don't have the cash. I'm waiting on my stimulus check which should arrive at the end of the week or early next week.

In the meantime we need to start planning our trip to Phoenix and Albuquerque - the Four Corners region. We plan to fly into Phoenix in October and drive by the Grand Canyon on our way to Albuquerque for the International Hot Air Ballon Fiesta. It's a trip I have been wanting to take for nearly fifteen years. I only learned about the Fiesta a few years back, but I have longed to drive through the desert lands for many years. I took a bus trip from Las Vegas to Laughlin, Nevada in 1999, but there is something far more appealing about driving through the desert climate on your own terms. We plan to get a car reserved this weekend and maybe make a few other plans and reservations. The plane tickets for those flights have already been purchased. All we need to do now is choreograph the time in between.
