The first photo is actually from Las Vegas, where I spent the first part of my work/play trip. The rest of the Vegas photos are here in the F30 gallery. The other photos are from Sedona, AZ, a beautiful town about 2 hours north of Phoenix. I loved the place when I first visited it back in 2001 and regrettably did not have time or budget to go back during my Southwest trip last year. So when I decided to go to Las Vegas, I decided I'd also make the 5 hour drive to Sedona to stay for a few days. It's a pretty laid back town and was a nice antidote to the craziness of Vegas. I stayed in a wonderful bed and breakfast called the Cozy Cactus, run by an equally wonderful couple, Carrie and Mark Peterson. If you're ever in Sedona, I highly recommend that you stay there (and no, they didn't pay me to say that).
