Tired of cold weather!

My family was referred by a family friend that used this company several times after we decided to run away from the cold weather of Chicago before moving to Arizona.

We booked several tours with them. They are very helpful from the time of reservation to returning you to your hotel! This company really believes in customer service! The lady that I booked my reservation patiently answered all my questions about the tours that they offered. I am embarrassed to say that I think I kept her on the phone for at least a half hour. My husband had to remind me that she had other customers. She was always happy to answer all my questions and she actually helped me figure out an itinerary; it was almost like having a travel agent. She was fantastic!

Our guides on all of our tours were great! They were very informative and fun!

Our favorite tour was our several night trip to the Grand Canyon. We didn't know about Sedona until I spoke with the reservationist and I am glad that she encouraged me to include that in my stay in Arizona! The Grand Canyon was amazing and we have SO many wonderful memories and pictures from our trip. We had time to hike, take a sunset tour, a jeep tour and the helicopter tour on this one tour.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone thinking about going to Arizona! I am definitely going to book again with them if when I return. I now have family and friends trying to plan vacations to Arizona.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from my family to yours!

I am enjoying the wonderful temperate weather in Arizona.  I have been able to wear short sleeves most days in December.  The weather in the winter cannot be beat here!  I am looking forward to January and February when I can wear jackets in the middle of the day and bring out some heavier clothes!  The mountaintops in Phoenix sometimes will have a dusting of snow.  I need to get some pictures to show everyone that reads this.  It hasn't snowed on them yet, but I will hopefully be able to capture some pictures soon!

If I want snow I just visit the northern part of the state.  I really want to go back to the Grand Canyon this winter.  I love to see snowfall on mountaintops and pine trees.  I think this looks like heaven!

I remember the last time I was at the Grand Canyon.  The memory of the massive and beautiful canyon is amazing!  It had several wondrous colors of purples, pinks and oranges.    I have not been to Sedona to see the holiday lights called Fantasy of Lights and I don't think that I am going to be able to make that this year, but I will be going to Glendale Glitters.  They have over 1.5 million lights.  It is always a wonderful display and then they have several performances and wonderful vendors...wineries, hot chocolate, caramel apples....  They even have horse drawn carriage rides...very romantic!

As you can tell, I am very excited about the holiday season!!!  I hope yours is joyous.  Always remember that this is the time of the year for telling those in your life that you care about them.  This is also the time to spend with loved ones.  


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Happy New Year!

I am looking forward to the many wonderful things that are awaiting us all in 2009! 

I am ready for much fun and interesting adventures and many more trips!  I already have one set up to go to Atlanta, GA.  Atlanta is such a great city with a lot of history!  Last time I was there I went to the MLK museum which was breathtaking and very informative!  I have also gone to the World of Coke, the Atlanta Zoo and Stone Mountain.  I love the terrain in Georgia for all its beautiful flora, trees and mountains!  Oh, did I mention the wonderful restaurants there...I am very excited about the food as well as the trip!

Looking back at 2007, there were some challenges but overall it was a great year!   Many wonderful things came out of visioning for the life I desire.  I now have a job I love and I involved in many other money making opportunities that provide satisfaction and self worth.  I am happy to report these many blessing that have been showered on my life.  These all did come with struggles and learning along the way and I am SO thankful for those involved in my journey, all the encouragement, assistance and prayers!  Thank you all, thank you God, thank you life and thank you universe for all these wonderful blessings! 


As I release 2008, I eagerly awaited the wonderful blessing that are happening right now for me and the world as there are many shifts happening right now.


Blessing to all in 2009!


Namaste!

What was the last thing you smiled about?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 30, 2008:

Knowing that I get to go back to my home state to visit friends, family and eat really good food very soon! 

I know that I am truly blessed to be able to travel and have so many people in my life that support me in my times of doubt and struggle as well as cheer with me in times of joy and celebration.  I am so very blessed and I know that this next year has even more in store for me!
