Mrsdrron once again had the western meal.This time the caviar and lobster tail were separate dishes.

.
Being the sensible woman that she is she decided that was enough.
After I had finished watching Victoria I asked for my bed to be made up.
.
When I awoke we were less than an hour out of LAX and mrsdrron was already having her breakfast.I just had the mushroom quiche with chicken breast roulade.
.
Obviously we had a great tail wind as we landed nearly 2 hours before scheduled.Only a short wait for a gate.First to the Immigration kiosks.A short line to get passports stamped but a longer slow moving line to get through customs.
Now the problem was originally there was a 2.5 hour wait for a PHX flight which we thought may be a problem if a late arrival so we chose the flight with a 5 hour wait.That was now 7 hours.We tried to change flights when dropping our bags but we could only be waitlisted for the earlier flight but it was already showing a 75 minute delay so not worth a change.
Off to T4-security had no lines.I like the new policy with the flagship lounge with OWS getting in though not allowed into the dining room.We were in no need of food.I was intermittently dropping off into a stupour with a song going through my mind but with slightly different lyrics-by the time I get to Phoenix I'll be b*ggered.
Finally the time came for our flight.The planes from here get smaller and the service worse.
AA 561. LAX-PHX. ETD-1940. Push back-1945. Take off-2001. A321. Seats 2D,F.
ETA-2105. Landed-2101. At gate-2111.
Only offered water pre take off.I remember mrsdrron getting the warm nuts then it was of to sleep.
At PHX a wait for our bags.Fortunately I noticed our flight number come up at the next carousel before anyone else so first to get our bags even though not the first out.Rental car shuttle line was long but a second shuttle immediately after the first and it's doors opened where we were standing.Off to Avis.
feeling tired and being quite dark I initially missed the Sheraton Phoenix airport hotel 6 miles from the Airport.Pulled in ~ 2215.
