The Long Haul: Tucson to San Diego

What can I say? Tucson is the armpit of Arizona. My thoughts as we drove through, demolish the whole town and start over.

Tuscon is pretty close to Phoenix and the sun had a polluted haze around it that made me feel like I was at home in Atlanta.

We couldn't get out of that area fast enough. And although several people have told me how horrible a drive west Texas is, it does not compare to the drive from Tucson to Sand Diego. I admit, once we crossed into California the mountain views improved. but this is based on past experience as we did not roll through the mountain pass until after dark. The winds were extremely high, which made for stressful driving for Rich.

But we made it to our hotel by 10:00 p.m. This is later than I had hoped. However, let's not forget we left at rush hour on Friday. Not bad.

Time for bed. We have massages and sightseeing to do in the morning. I will post pictures later this week.
