As a resident of the Phoenix, Arizona area, I live near some of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. As such, I frequently travel about Arizona and nearby states. I'd like to use this page to report on my travels and provide what I hope is useful information for visiting the Southwestern U.S. and other places I've been to. I take particular pride in exploring more out-of-the-way destinations that are frequently overlooked by the travel guides. Check back regularly for reports on the tourist hot-spots, local (to me) points of interest, and "hidden treasures." Feel free to share your own experiences as well.
Who I'd like to meet: Dave Barry, John McWhorter, Charles Wheelan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Frederick Douglass, Dolly Madison, Ben Franklin, Thomas Paine, John Locke, The Tooth Fairy
I meant to email you last night to let you know I'd made it, but I just totally blanked out on it! I'm sorry! I had a great time out there, too! Thanks so much for letting me crash! I will definitely add more logs ... that's my "homework" for the next week. :)
Have condo in Destin through September...on golf course...lake front 100 yards to beach...have a lot of friends (locals) there. Got email yesterday from a buddy in St Croix..just bought a condo there and is opening a bar there. He invited me down. I know, I am a sorry human being.
Ha, ha remember when we (Joey, Ken, Jon, you, the dates, & myself) all went to prom together as a group. We had dinner at Rudolph's in Gainesville, then off to the prom. : )
I was just thinking about those videos we made all those years ago. You know...Spanish Talk Show, the Sci-Fi Spectacular, etc... Do you still have those?
