Since then, John had moved into his own apartment and I found a less expensive way to get to Tucson (by flying from Detroit to Phoenix.) I decided to actually go, over the Labor Day weekend.
John's usual days off are Sunday and Monday, and his boss approved his request to take Saturday off, so we would have 3 full days to be together. I flew down on Friday and back on Tuesday.
One of the perks of going in the summer is that courses that charge over $100 a round in the winter are considerably less in the summer, which means I got to play three of them, Oro Valley with his friend George, Omni Tucson National, Sonoran Course 18 holes, Catalina Course an extra 9 holes on our own:
 |
| A dramatic hole, this one a down hill par 3. |
 |
| This is one of the most amazing golf holes I have played. Very up hill. Lots of bunkers. Par 5 The flag is about 3 times longer than a normal one. |
and Sewailo Golf Club at Casino Del Sol with his friend Shane:
John made home cooked breakfasts and dinners for us like beef burritos, tacos and flat enchiladas.
We did a shopping trip to Walmart on the way back from golf on Saturday for items John's apartment like: a microwave, small dining table, etc. I had hoped John would help me shop for a dress for the wedding, but I ended up doing that successfully on my own, while he prepared dinner on Monday night.
I think there were too many preconceived expectations for our short time together on each of our parts, which resulted in it not being a totally blissful time, but it is nothing that can not likely be overcome, with some additional communication and time together. My plan is still to spend most of the winter in Tucson, in order to be near him.
