If it’s October, it must be time to visit the East Coast. As the plane lifted off from Sky Harbor and we were passing downtown Phoenix I couldn’t resist; I just needed a photograph of the city I live in.

This afternoon we boarded our Southwest flight for a  non-stop to Baltimore for the second of three vacations made possible by a forty-eight-hour sale Southwest was having some time back. Our tickets were crazy cheap at only $84 each way per person plus tax or $402 for the two of us roundtrip.

We bought two flights to Baltimore, last month’s little vacation taking us to Williamsburg and Washington, D.C., and today, we will be heading off to begin a vacation to visit Philadelphia, New York City, and Gettysburg.

Next month, we are off to Florida for some camping on the Dry Tortugas, and again, those flights were only $84 per seat each way.
