Take me to the dessert

I mean desert ๐Ÿ˜€

Weโ€™re at the airport right now on our way to beautiful AZ!!!

010

Sorry Iโ€™ve been a posting slacker today- itโ€™s been quite a frenzy over here!

I started the morning early with a 4 mile run and weights with Jeni, followed by a juice, a packing extravaganza, getting the oil changed in my car, and finally making the drive to the Jax airport with the pilot.

003

On the way, we got Subwizzle.

I had a veggie on honey oat with every veggie except for pickles (nutritionally-devoid iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, onion, extra jalapenos and banana peppers) and mustard.

002

The pilot had two 6 inch subs: a meatball and an oven roasted chicken

001

We made it to J-ville in perfect time and on our first flight to Chicago I got a little airsick since it was super bumpy. I was feeling a little green, so I grabbed my neck noodle and slept like a baby.

Guess who we got to meet in Chicago?!?

008

MARA!

She came to the airport and had a lovely picnic with us ๐Ÿ˜€

She even brought me BAIGAN BHARTHA since I missed out on having it this week!

005

Holy foodgasm, it was amazing.

The menu:

007

That girl knows the way to my heart, for sure ๐Ÿ˜€

And an Italian beef sandwich with sweet peppers for the pilot.

006

I had such a blasty talking to Mara (who is just as wonderful and sweet as she seems on the blog) and the food was to-die-for. I loved gabbing with her about life, fashion, her upcoming wedding and the blog world. Thanks again for meeting up and feeding us, Mara!

She also gave us a glorious house salad that the pilot munched and a pack of veggies that came with one of the meals.

I squirted lemon juice on the veggies and devoured them.. especially the large spicy green peppers

009

You know I love my spicy ๐Ÿ˜‰

Our flight was delayed (shocker, eh??) so weโ€™re still chilling at the airport. Not a bar in sight, or I would have some vino in hand ๐Ÿ˜€ Weโ€™re hoping to make it into Phoenix tonight โ€“it will be a late one- and the madre, nana and little bro are picking us up from the airport and driving us to Tucson.

Any Tucson bloggies, please let me know if youโ€™d like to meet up this weekend (if you havenโ€™t already)! Iโ€™m thinking of planning something Sunday afternoon ๐Ÿ˜€

See ya tomorrow from my homeland ๐Ÿ˜‰

xoxo,

G

    Hang in there with your ridiculously long travel day. We used to live in Myrtle Beach, SC. No direct flights anywhere, had to drive to Raleigh if we wanted half a chance of something decent, adding hours to the already long day. Then a layover and more waiting to board flight #2, hoping it's not delayed, but it always is. Been there girl..it sucks. Here's to seeing your family…soon!

  12. Emily Eats on August 7, 2009 at 3:37 am

    That was so nice of Mara! It looks good, too…
    Have a great time in Tucson – it's one of my favorite places. Especially for food! Happy eating ๐Ÿ™‚

    I REALLY wish Subway would get rid of iceberg lettuce!

  33. Jennifer @ His N' Her Health on August 7, 2009 at 1:12 pm

    The Subways here (at least the ones I have been to) totally have spinach that you can get instead of iceberg. One reason Tucson is better than everywhere else haha.

  34. eatingbender on August 7, 2009 at 5:00 pm
