Resortgirl | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 05:05 pm     Karuuna and I were a little down in the dumps so we decided to go to Phoenix, November 21-23 to raise our spirits. We are packing as I type... well not physically, but mentally!!! Woo HOOOO!!!!! |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 05:09 pm     Have fun!!! |
Karuuna | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 05:31 pm     woo hoo! I'm excited too! So, anyone want to help us plan? Who knows anything about Phoenix? Places to stay? Things to do? TVCHers to meet? |
Whoami | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 05:43 pm     <...starts trying to figure out a way to sneak in to Kar's luggage....> Too bad I can't be compressed into a zip file! |
Weinermr | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 05:51 pm     Depends who you want to meet. |
Karuuna | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 05:54 pm     LOL, Who, I'd pack you along if I could! Weinermr, um, okay, that's cryptic. Wanna elaborate? |
Resortgirl | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 06:01 pm     are you implying that anyone that sneaks in Kars luggage is gonna have to meet me???? Huh, weiner??? |
Whoami | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 06:17 pm     You know, if someone could figure out how to compress people into zip files, it could really revolutionize travel. Think about it. All we'd have to do is e-mail ourselves to each other! Of course, I'd sure hate to have someone's system crash as they're downloading me. And, what if the file gets corrupted during transport? Hmmmm....guess I better rethink this! |
Urgrace | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 07:16 pm     <urgrace goes to check flights and see if she can crash the party> |
Resortgirl | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 07:34 pm     Grace, you think you might be able to swing it? That would be awesome!!! We have'nt picked a hotel yet, but I'll email you the particulars once we decide~ |

Weinermr | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 10:28 pm     ?? |
Karuuna | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 10:31 pm     Grace, no suites available, I tried. We just got a regular room. I think there are some available still, but just warning ya, they are rather pricey!  |
Karuuna | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 10:33 pm     Weiner, don't give me that quizzical look. You confused us first!  |
Twinkie | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 11:39 pm     Wow, that place looks VERY pricey! Ya'll have fun! Bring back souvenirs from MB's store! |
Tess | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 11:53 pm     Send me a postcard!!! And have a wonderful time, you two. Give each other a big ole hug for me. |
Kaili | Wednesday, November 12, 2003 - 05:41 am     I know exactly where that place is. Looks very nice. Just so you know, you'll be pretty far north- hardly really "in" Phoenix. Phoenix is great, especially this time of year. The Phoenix Zoo, believe it or not, is actually pretty cool. Resortgirl, if you like and want Leinies, you can actually get it there (they have a brewery at Bank One Ballpark). Tempe- close to the airport, it's where ASU is. I can't remember the name of the street off the top of my head (just how to get there) but it's basically just a strip of bars and resturaunts and it's pretty fun. Whenever I fly out of Phoenix I stay near there for the night. If you do outdoor dining at those places, they even have the nice misters spraying on you. Scottsdale- good shopping there and Old Town would probably be kind of fun if you haven't been there. Mesa is okay but I always think it's a little too...isolated. Not that it really is, but I've never found a whole lot to do there. Are you renting a car? Basically, I would stick with Scottsdale Ave- it's a long road but if you got on it and went south you would hit Old Town and eventually run into Tempe where the name of the street, I think, changes to something else and the ASU stadium would be on your right. What are you looking to do while visiting? Outdoor stuff? Hanging at the resort mostly? Shopping? Compared to a lot of airports, Phoenix is nice BUT...are you guys flying on the same airline? The way it is, there are four terminals and they are in seperate buildngs. It's like a bunch of mini airports and is nice in some ways because it makes it less crowded, and parking better, but if you are on different airlines one of you may land in Terminal 1 and the other in Terminal 4. Not really a big deal, you can walk or take the shuttle, but you should be aware and look into that so you can coordinate your meeting (unless you are just meeting at the resort). Have fun!!! I probably can't answer everything for you, but I have spent a lot of time in Phoenix from when I lived in Flagstaff and because my dad lives in Prescott I'm there at least twice a year. |
