Phoenix, The Grand Canyon,

and the vast stretches of the former home to many ancient American Indians

I am happy to say plans for my next trip are quickly coming together. Coming home from the Carolinas I came across a small story in the planes magazine on a detour to the Grand Canyon. I ripped it out and did my research and eventually came the idea of spending a nice short weekend in Phoenix to see the Grand Canyon. Not all vacations I would take alone depending on the location but i didnt mind it here.

Fortunately, from mentioning my plans, a good friend eventually became not only interested in this trip but also became my travel partner with the same love and passion for seeing what the world has to offer. Now instead of a weekend I will have an extra day to enjoy other things besides downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale, and of course the Grand Canyon. There are many things to do based on research and going Google crazy. Unfortunately we are both still on a tight budget. The selected dates are Feb 23rd to Feb 26th. This is why i turn to this blog to get feedback and insight on whats great to do in the Phoenix area and surrounding areas. Feel free to drop a comment if you have any suggestions. :)
