Beth is right. Sedona is a must see. Mexico is not that far away and if you decide to go to Tucson, it's a quick trip from there. If you decide you want to do that make sure you have your passport with you. One of my favorite sites here in Phoenix is the Heard Museum. It's in downtown Phoenix and well worth the time and admission. There are artifacts from various cultures, art, music, and crafts to take part in. Its just an all around pleasurable experience. And if you have kids with you, it's also educational but don't tell them. Jan in Az.
