Embassy Suites Hotel Phoenix

... visiting. It's great to see an old friend with a great family, but it also makes you reflect. It was the first time I really got to play with and study a two year old. And now I know why they say an angel watches over all small children. <br>Erin and I have decided to make our visits more frequent in the future.

... footed in the Pacific Northwest, you don't think about where your water comes from. And reclaimed water? Yucky.<br>But here in the desert reclaimed water is what makes the golf possible. And in Arizona, golf is king.<br>Water courses through Phoenix like an Oregon holiday--wet and extravagant. I cringe to see man made ponds, lakes, waterfalls and rivers in this desert decorate developments like baubles on a tree.<br>But when you know they've ...

... Ouzo out, before we headed to possibly my favorite bar/club since Ive been away. It was called Dos Gringos and was an open air bar with loads of lights and things hanging, a massive Jenga, other bar type games, dance floor, just a good time place, oh and it was 10 drinks for 10 bucks, ouch!!! Needless to say we were there till close before finding our way home. Although a brief stop it was lots of fun.

... things to note - we got totally ripped off getting a ride to the cinema. We asked the hotel for a cab and after almost 30 minutes, finally a car showed up - not some beat up and cheap taxi we were expecting but some flash, shiny car equipped with a super jock wannabe behind the wheel. After all the $$$ we have blown so far, we were like WTF! This guy was running his own business driving people around from hotels and obviously had some scam with the hotel - we just wanted ...

We started our trip from Tempe, Arizona (see how we currently lived there). Our goal was to find a new life and our destination was the south-west, southeast, and notrth-east sections of the United States.<br><br>So it was time to say our 'Good byes.'

Phoenix is a special city. It's hot, meth flavored, and the people are intense. There is no point in trying to tell you why I love Phoenix. I just do. It was my new beginning, my fresh start. I left my heart in Phoenix. Something just happen that way though.

The night was not over yet however coz we are still missing some toiletries. So with the impossibly confusing guidance of our navigation system we drove to Wal-mart and got our supplies. Thank God for 24hour supermarkets. Only at around 2 a.m. were we finally able to retire.

... wool and silk, the designs are mainly painted with fabric dyes - very precise and controlled work as opposed to the free style work that is more common. Some of it may actually be done with stencils. The jacket in the foreground has no facings or lining, is edged with a very narrow silk binding and is priced at $650. I can't identify the artist at the moment.

Bobby makes a quick stop at home, and joined the Phoenix CS community for an evening to check out the band "The Hardways", who's lead singer Gingher ...
