We had a great late night snack at Chili's last night. That's the first time I've been in a Chili's since the Bakken last autumn, at the Chili's in Williston, North Dakota, last November, or whenever it was that I was in North Dakota. I forget the exact month.
Arianna and Olivia plays UNO til late. I went to bed well before they did. No alarms were set.
I was up at 7:38 (I assume local time), out the door with my backpack at 7:42 (I checked my watch when I was in the parking lot) and by 7:47 had reached Starbucks. Short walk.
Plans: Grand Canyon most of the day. May wants to stay to see the sunset on the canyon. Earlier in the day Arianna, who will probably set the agenda for the trip, had suggested only half a day. She did not specific how long she wants to stay today but did mention at least three things we did not do last year in the canyon that she wants to do this year. She rattles them off like she is reading from a mental checklist. In addition, there is a "tower" she wants to see again. I'm not quite sure which tower she means.
I asked whether any of the three would like to stay another night in the area or press on to California. May thought about it for a minute but did not have a chance to answer: both Arianna and Olivia said to press on. Olivia asked if I would mind driving all night. LOL.
No alarms in the motel room this morning. When I left they were all in bed; Olivia stirring. Arianna sound asleep. Arianna planned to get up not earlier than 9:00 a.m. but I suggested something earlier. Last I heard last night was they would get up at 8:00 a.m.
It's 8:10 a.m. I'm enjoying my Starbucks. Three women on vacation who, with the exception of Olivia (maybe) are probably still in bed. Something tells me I have at least until 9:30 here at Starbucks.
