| Luxury bus at Guaymas |
On Monday 7
th May we caught a bus from Guaymas to
Tucson, USA. It was 40 minutes late, but very comfy. Unfortunately we had to
disembark three times for security checks and it took nearly 2 hours to cross
the US border.

Our stay at Town Place Suite by Marriot was great and we tried
our first Denny’s for a meal. In the morning we walked to Alamo Rental car at
the airport and picked up a Nissen Versa Note. It was small, economical and had
cruise control. It was hot (107F) crossing the desert, but we arrived safely at
Fort Bliss, El Paso, and had a wonderful time with my niece, Miki, and her two
children.

We returned the rental car to Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport
the following Friday. We crossed three State lines: Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona on our six hour drive and gained an hour due to different time zones.
We flew to Oakland Airport across the bay from San Francisco and were met by
our son, Simon. Erin and Buffy the cat were waiting for us in Sunnyvale.

It was lovely to be reunited once more, even though our
separation had only been months this time, not years. I had the pleasure of
being with Simon and Erin for USA Mother’s Day and my birthday.

Please comment if you think the sequoia tree is actually a giant redwood.
