Feb 25-Mar 2, 2006 Arizona visit to James

First solo vacation without family. Flew out of CWA and into Phoenix where James met me at the airport. He almost didn't recognize me because I've put on a bit of weight since he left the area. Stayed in the spare front bedroom at James' neat little house. He lives in a nice residential neighborhood where most front "lawns" are green concrete or artificial turf. A few try to maintain real grass somewhere.

James showed me the sights of the area. We went to a little downtown festival one day. We took in one of the big malls. Had a Mexican dinner with Jonathan. My favorite day was when we went hiking in the little mountain/desert area a little way outside of town. Took lots of photos, some of which still grace a display hanging on the archway to the living room. I had a nice photo display of outdoor shots from several vacations (Arizona, Canadian Rockies, etc) in my office at one point, but when I moved to CSP, I didn't have room for all the prints. Now I just put them into the computer and run slide shows on my screensaver.
