Welcome to the Desert! I was back (as promised) to Phoenix for "Take 2". We're looking at some esquisite palm trees outlining the US Airways headquarters just inside the Arizona State University campus. How do high/lows in the 80s / 55s sound for November!?!? (Cities visited: Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tucson, Pima, Tempe, Peoria)

A beautiful Phoenix sunset. So much to do, such amazing weather, AZ rocks. If you venture out here, make sure to visit classy downtown Scottsdale (Loco Senor bar). Definately my favorite city in the area and foxy ladies galore!!! :)

While in Tucson, we stopped by the University of Arizona campus. Our self guided tour had us enjoying Chicken McDaddy wings, exploring the Main Campus Library for recon, seeing the Arizona vs. Washington football game, and a crisp sprint to the UMC hospital for LENNY!!!!

Me, Eric, and Mitch at the Pima Air and Space Museum. We posing in front a F-15A Eagle. Our favorite part was the AirForce Simulator featuring various aircraft throughout the years (migs, sabers, p-52s, etc). We toured a AirForceOne plane used by President's Kennedy and Johnson. Amazing how that crampt, low tech plane was considered royalty back in the 60s!

12-guage shotgun, m4 and ak47.

My second day in AZ, we cruised from Phoenix to Tucson. 160 miles of pure highway! I rented a red covertible for this voyage and I highly recommend all of friends back East to give this a try once. Such an exhilarating experience going 90mph (remember speed limit at least 75mph), wind blowing in your face, and putting mountains in your dust!

 

Trains along the Piccacho mountain range on I-10. Indian reservations are just a few miles ahead.

Here I am with USA's premiere rifle, the M-4! Amazing firing rate / accuracy potential. Price tag: $2,000 (with scope modifications).

Arizona vs Washington.

Sun Devil Stadium from mountain-top! This is where the Arizona Cardinals play football. Eric and I climbed up and chilled watching the incoming planes into Phoenix Sky Harbor airport.

Pima Air and Space Museum. A graveyard for some of our best retired aircraft.
