Forget the Beach, We're Doing the Desert
New Orleans travelog #11
Kenner, LA - Wednesday, 26 Apr 2023, 8pm
This is the part of the trip where we diverge from the original plan we made months ago. Originally we planned drive to Florida this evening after wrapping up our brief jaunt through MIssissippi and spend 4 nights in Pensacola Beach. Ten days ago we canceled our beach plans. Instead we've driven back to New Orleans, returned our rental car, and are flying out early tomorrow morning. Oh, but we're not going home. A day after canceling the beach and struggling with what to do instead we forged plans with friends for a waterpark vacation in Phoenix.
You might think, "Wait, you traded off 4 days at the beach for... the desert?!" Yes, it's the desert, but the waterpark should be really fun. It's bigger than the one we've visited several times in the past. Plus we'll meet friends there. Plus the weather's not great at the beach anyway. Here's what's on tap at Pensacola Beach:
Ugh. It'd be a trip full of rainy days with high temps not rising above the mid 70s. That's poor beach weather. 👎
And here's what's waiting for us in Phoenix:
Beautiful lazy river & waterslide weather!
