amwosu:
Just got back from Phoenix. Went to Michaels and I'll have to say it's not as good as I hoped it would be. Here's what we had:
-lobster risotto (good)
-ravioli (good)
-clam chowder (too salty)
-sea bass (too salty)
-duck (too salty)
My huband, who usually adds more pepper & salt to his food, also felt the food was salty.
However, the atmosphere & service was great. We sat outside on the heated patio...it's more quiet & warm (because of the fireplace/heater). Hope you have better food at thanksgiving

Oh sammyc! Bummer about the food at Michael's. Should I change to Lon's at the Hermosa or somewhere else instead or just go for it at Michael's?
How was your trip otherwise? Any place that I HAVE to go while I'm there?
Its raining with lots of tornado activities here in central Indiana and we may get snow flurries by early next week so I am really looking forward to the Valley of the Sun for a long weekend at Thanksgiving.

We'll be off for Salzburg right after Christmas and through New Years. Hence my recent posts re: day trips from Salzburg.
Seeing all these recently taken trips and those that are just ahead for the many posters on this board, I'm wondering why there are so few trip reports coming out of all this travel. Can it be that the humor and writing skill of some has dampened the spirit of those perhaps less gifted in the story-telling realm but still with lots of info to share?

amwosu, I've heard alot of good things about Michael's. It could just be a bad 'batch' of food last weekend... We really didn't explore PHoenix. We spent most of the day at the Phonecian...awesome place to relax. We had their dessert after we got back from dinner...the white chocolate mousee is awesome! Yeah, I'm back to Chicago...it's windy & flurries outside?? crazy. I wish I have a timeshare in the SW!

I'm off to research, research, and more research Home till March.
Called my travel agent for a flight quote: $1,264. Sheesh, even Orbitz gave me $815 with a very tolerable schedule! $449 difference!
