My love of Arizona started when I was about 4 or 5 years old. A friend of my father's had moved there, and we went out for a week one winter. The following winter we went back for 5 months, I went to the first grade in Phoenix that winter. Those adventures left deep and pleasant memories for me. I find the landscape very relaxing.
The next time I went to Arizona was in the mid 1980's for a training program in Scottsdale. I rented a car, I visited the school I had attended about 20 years before, and went to the Grand Canyon.
I have been back numerous times over the past 15 years, for conferences, or merely stopping on my way to and from the west coast to see Spo and on the most recent trip to meet Sharon of Phoenix Daily Photo. There is a conference in Phoenix I will be there in a couple of weeks.
I don't think I would survive a summer in Phoenix, but I do like the state. I can't wait to go back.
