- Well back from the road. I had a hard time for a few days with finding a good Internet connection to last my attention span before I gave up about 24 hours ago from web

- I am glad to see the Su.pr kept my twitter busy and still got some visits to my site when I was totally away from Internet.

- I am going to recap a bet on my activities when I was missing in action for the past 8 days. the last post on my site was Aug 6 09

- I was preparing to go to #Tucson that day. And I did, I rented a car. Man! it was great to be back on the wheel again, its been a year.

- Always ask for a small economy car you save on gas in the US and in Arizona you really need a car to get around to all the scattered places.


- http://twitpic.com/dsze9 - It felt great to touch the wheel again and to go out on the open road from #Phoenix to #Tucson great drive.


- http://twitpic.com/dt0ce - This is me trying to catch the image of my rental car on the back of this very shiny truck while driving. Dangerous!


- http://twitpic.com/dt1hy - I opened the radio and found a station playing country music. I thought to my self "Perfect!" goes with #AZ

- You really can get lost in your thoughts in a road like that and clear your mind. Take the Route #AZ 143 South 1 and 1/2 hour desert drive.

- But it was hard to concentrate on the drive once the unique #Arizona Saguaro Cactus started to appear. People probably thought I was drunk.

- #Arizona really has unique desert plants different than what’s in KSA desert but they did have Barshomy there too :) drank cactus juice conc.

- All in all it was a good drive a bet sunny but with the car AC felt tolerable. Till I got to #Tucson and Map Quest directions got me lost.

- I was determined to only use the maps given by the car rental co. & use the directions of Map Quest, but at the end bought a map for $4.50

- That's after driving around in circles for more than an hour. I got feed up and gave in to get a real map. Which as turned out needed later.

- Ok, to cont with the events of Aug 6 (Day 4 of the trip). I finally got the paper map and asked directions from a nice lady in @Walgreens.

- I had before I left #Phoenix made reservations online at an @applestore with a genius bar @ La Encantada Mall at #Tucson to fix my MacBook.

- My MacBook had been down for a few months and I didn't want to take it to any one in #Jeddah they didn't have the same kind of support.

- But having bought the apple care when I bought my MacBook which turned out its a must. In one hour my MacBook was fixed and I took with me.

- I love that @applestore is located at a mall like LaEncantada http://bit.ly/hzAfs I had time to get Gelato at Frost http://bit.ly/qYL1K


- http://twitpic.com/dx95g - While waiting for my MacBook to get fixed I walked around & explored La Encantada Mall #Tucson


- http://twitpic.com/dxatf - The view from where I was sitting eating my delicious gelato at Frost "The Best of The City"

- By the time I was ready to go it was sunset and the drive on Skyline Drive looking at #Tucson below was stunning. I had wished I could stop.

- But I was getting tired and more than ready to get to #Courtyard #Tucson Hotel which was easier to get to with the paper map in hand.


- http://twitpic.com/dxdli - Finally I saw the bed which I was so glad to see and really happy to be able to call it a day.


- http://twitpic.com/dxfgb - The room at Courtyard #Tucson Williams Centre http://bit.ly/ErqSW love their comfy beds.

- With that I conclude day 4 of my trip and also my day here. Good night everyone or good morning depends on where you are. Write to you soon.
