Day 0: Plans

This was a multi-pronged trip. We were to drive to Houston on Tuesday, May 31, spend a few days at Laura's house and then fly to Phoenix to visit Terri's mom. We would then fly back to Houston, spend a few days and fly with Stephen, Laura, Gavin and Megan to begin a 10 day visit to Orlando.

The trip to Houston went well. We stayed overnight in our favorite Little Rock Red Roof (they accept pets). We arrived in Houston on Wednesday, June 1. What did not go according to our plan was that on Thursday, June 2, we arose to find our beloved pet, Spenser, was lame and could not stand. We analyzed the situation and determine it was time to have Spenser put to rest. This was a painful decision, but in retrospect, the correct one.

We flew to Phoenix and had a nice visit with Mary (Terri's mom). She is a gracious hostess and made us feel welcomed.  We flew back to Houston on Thursday, June 9. On Sunday, June 12, we flew to Orlando. Flight was delayed for over an hour, but otherwise, uneventful. We rented a house close to Disney World and arrived there around midnight.
