Sunday night we took a short overnight trip to the Gold County of Northern California to see Huey Lewis and The News in concert. Yes, Huey Lewis is still around after all these years. It was a bit of deja vu for us, as Huey Lewis was the second concert my wife ever attended way [...]

We just stayed at the Hyatt Highland Inn in Carmel for 3 days and 2 nights courtesy of a timeshare presentation offer. In exchange for listening to an hour and a half timeshare presentation, we get a great rate for the hotel stay, $99 a night during the week, and $119 for the weekend. [...]

One of the big thrill in visiting the Montery/Carmel area is the chance to try one of the many great restraunts there. There are so many that its difficult to choose.

Today, we took a break from our time in Scottsdale, by heading to the town of Sedona which is about an hour and a half north of Phoenix. Because of the higher elevation, Sedona is about 10 degrees cooler than Phoenix, and a lot less humid, so it was a welcomed relief. If you have [...]
After lounging at the pool most of the day, we ventured to a western town called Rawhide in Phoenix. Rawhide is a western frontier town with shows and activities for the entire family. It opens at 5 in the evening because its just too hot to be out before 5. However, I was told that the [...]
Our family is on the road again on another vacation. This time we are in Scottsdale Arizona. We will be staying at the Sheraton Desert Oasis Resort for most of the week. I’ve been to the Phoenix area many times for business, and spring training each year. July is not a good time to come. Its [...]
