Sedona Trip Report
 
Just back from Sedona.<BR>Flew American from Boston. Connceted via Chicago on way out and Dallas on way back. No problems with airports/security/etc. On time all the way.<BR>Stayed at Sedona Summit Resort (timeshare). Good resort but construction underway which made for noise and lack of views. <BR>Took Pink Jeep Tours twice (Broken Arrow--the best--and Rattlesnake Gulch). Great trip. This is the way to see the area, if you don't hike. Took a tour to Grand Canyon one day. Did a bus tour so I wouldn't have to drive. Did 2 other day trips: THe Meteor Crater and Walnut Creek Canyon. Both outstanding, but it was windy the day we were there. Also did a trip to Painted Desert/Petrified Forest Nat. Park. Also spectacular but a longer drive.<BR>Otherwise drove around Sedona taking in the spectacular sites.<BR>Restaurants: Great lunches at Roberts Creekside, Rene at Tlaquepaque. Great dinners at Cowboy Club, L'Auberge de Sedona (5 star and expensive), Oaxaca (twice), and the best--Shugrues Hillside.<BR>Shopping: Touristy stuff everywhere. Downtown and Tlaquepage nice. Best buys on Indian jewelery at the Overlook atop Oak Creek Canyon.<BR>Any questions, email me.

Thanks for the details, John.<BR>What was the best place to have a meal with a great view?<BR>Did you go to Enchantment by any chance?

Heard fishing isreally good in the area. Did you fish?

John Apr 24th, 2002 04:16 AM

Did not fish but fly/trout fishing is reportedly good and we saw lots of fisherpeople. There is even a "Trout Farm" where you can fish without a license (private land) and pay only for what you catch.<BR>We did not get to Enchantment. It was on our "to do" list. I would love to go there for lunch. <BR>There are lots of places with views. Even the McDonalds has a view. We actually enjoyed the places on the creeks. (L'Auberge, Roberts Creekside, etc cause you could see and hear the water. Very romantic.)<BR>

Um, Karen - we will not go back to Enchantment. While my wife Caroline was having the time of her life, I was looking at all of the "extras" that kept piling up on our bill. It was nice to visit once, but I can think of other places/ways to spend a small fortune. Just mho.<BR><BR>Bill

Karen Apr 24th, 2002 09:32 AM

Bill, what kind of extras do you mean?<BR>Besides taxes of course. Did they add things to your bill that you were not aware of in advance? Thanks.

Dear Bill..This is It<BR>we are finished!! I am disgusted with your pettiness ...<BR>P.S.<BR>Who the Hell is Bill..He IS NOT my husband!!

Alfred Apr 24th, 2002 04:32 PM

Dear bill<BR>when did you go to the enchantment with my wife Caroline?.<BR>Karen: The Enchanment is wonderful worth every penny!!

Bill Apr 24th, 2002 06:24 PM

Sorry, Al, seems the husband is always the last to find out.<BR>Caroline and I have been seeing each other for several months now.<BR>But I'm returning her to your stable at this point (ridden hard and put away wet).<BR>She's just too d*mned expensive for my budget and ohmygosh that *snoring*. Can you still hear, my man? How do you even sleep at night?<BR>Anyway, sorry for any inconvenience.<BR>You can keep your Enchantment, Gucci and Prada bills.<BR>I'm going to go get some sound sleep for a change.

Oh My! Apr 25th, 2002 02:30 AM
