Traveling to Arizona
Posted on February 24, 2021 by Ching under Food and Drink, Hobbies, Travel.
Last week I traveled to Arizona for my first out of town pickleball tournament. It was one of the big ones too — the first Pro Pickleball Association (PPA) tournament of the year — with over 1200 registered players. It was a bit stressful trying to get out of Wichita with so many flight cancellations due to the winter storms. My 7 AM flight on Wednesday actually got canceled but luckily Brian was able to rebook me on an noon flight. The only downside is, instead of arriving in Arizona around noon, I wouldn’t arrive until 6 PM but I was grateful to be able to get there at all.

This is what Wichita looked like when I left.
Massive construction at the Denver airport.
Quickie airport lunch — hotdog and fries.
The first order of business upon my arrival at the resort — dinner and drinks at Roy’s. The drinks were delicious and pretty but expensive.
Karen was completely hooked on these lobster potstickers.
I got us some calamari to share.
My katsu chicken dinner.
Special bread pudding dessert.
Chocolate souffle.
Lauren Stratman joined us for that first dinner.
We had a nice time visiting over delicious food. I was so grateful I made it to the resort without any issues. I heard about the problems everyone was having with their car rentals and Ubers and I’m glad that Brian and I prearranged a car service pickup for me. Anyway, more about the trip next time. GNG.
