Day 1
Tucson - Miami
 
     

Another chapter of Our Magnificent Journey begins!

    

Slept OK and woke to find that my temperature had dropped to 101.  A move in the right direction.  We made the decision to go based on our assumption that the meds would kick in in a couple of days.  I felt like 180 pounds of crap but after firing down more meds, off we went to Tucson International Airport.  To rub salt into the wound, I managed to get a $250 speeding ticket en route to the airport.

    

Our American Airlines 737 departed Tucson on time and two hours later we landed in Dallas and began a three-hour layover for our flight to Miami.  At this point my fever is still 101 and I feel like there is a war movie happening in my head.

     
      

Finally another AA 737 took off at 3PM and we rocketed east across Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana and finally touched down at Miami International Airport at 10PM EST.  My bladder won’t leave me alone and now it feels like Chuck Norris is in my head using numchucks to try to get out.  Checked in to the Fairfield Inn near the airport and crashed into a very comfy and much-appreciated king-sized bed.

    

Although my temperature is now bouncing between 99 and 101, we both slept surprisingly well.
