|  | My Filipino-Polish nephew at Botanical Garden I was looking for a place to settle in where it would snow the least, I would earn the most and I would have have a beautiful suburban house close to a major metropolis with a busy airport --- my choices included Las Vegas, my original hometown of San Jose, California, San Diego, and finally, I chose a job in Phoenix!
Although our summers can be painfully hot, we enjoy living in this place which is 4-5 hours from something (San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and even Mexico are easily reachable by car). The only regret is not having a beach close by --- and so now, that's what we look forward to --- seeing the beaches during our travels!
We are close to the Grand Canyon though and I have probably visited it 50 times! But it's always fun to be close to this natural wonder... |

| | Unique Desert Mountains But the longer I live here, the more I realize there's so much too see close to home! Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale and Peoria may not be too tourist-friendly because of limited public transportation --- but the Off-the-Beaten Path adventures are unlimited. From visiting ruins left by the Sinaguan Indians (Tuzigoot Monument) to Hot-air ballooning ---- from the slippery rocks of Sedona's Slide Rock State Park to the eerie Montezuma Well ....from the huge Saguaro Park of Tucson to the safari experience at Out of Africa in Camp Verde...the list goes on and on... It's always nice to find out (and be surprised) that there's something close to home that you've never been to...that's what Phoenix is for me. |

That baseball stadium sounds more like a spa. I hope you have somewhere to cool off from the summer Phoenix heat. Your tips are interesting. | nimato Wed Jul 1, 2009 14:04 UTC
Ei Norman! I was amazed and curious at the same time when I encountered a Vter by the name of jumpingwithnorman. I thought this person must be related with one of the most popular VTers around -- you! I was right indeed! =D | riorich55 Tue Jun 30, 2009 16:54 UTC
I'm sending a cool 70 degree breeze to your Phoenix page from Chicago this morning. Weather in the 100's Not Very Fun!! | kenHuocj Thu Jun 11, 2009 23:47 UTC
