At the SeaTac Airport

Late this afternoon, we took the Toad and drove the 100+ miles from Ocean Mist to SeaTac. I am flying out early tomorrow morning for a day and a half meeting in Phoenix. We decided it was easier to drive over today and spend the night rather than fight traffic in the morning. We are checked in at the SeaTac Holiday Express Inn.





Forry will go back to Auntie Violet in the morning then drive back over and pick me up when I return Saturday afternoon. There are fifteen or so of us going as a delegation from Mennonite Church USA to discuss with the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce and Convention Bureau the ramifications of holding our 2013 Assembly in Phoenix. I was invited because of my role as the Co-Chair of the Anti-Racism Team of the Executive Board. Most of the delegation members are from the Racial-Ethnic groups of the church.


It's going to be quite a contrast to go from the coastal beaches where the temperatures have barely reached 70 degrees to the 110 degrees Phoenix has been posting!
