The Viking and I go to Arizona twice a year, usually for a month or so each time. Because we run our own company out of the house, we seldom get two days off in a row and our phone rings from 6 o’clock in the morning to 11 o’clock at night. So we take time in the spring and in the fall – our slow seasons – for ourselves.
We drive to Lake Havasu City, Arizona from Calgary, Alberta; it’s a trip of about 2300 kilometers (1430 miles) that we do in a day and a half. We actually enjoy the drive; it’s relaxing and no one is banging on the door or the phone isn’t ringing all hours of the day and night. We heave a big sigh of relief as Calgary fades behind us.
