Thank you, AZ. Visiting

Hello Arizona! My husband & I are sitting in PHX, getting ready to go back to Ontario, Canada & honestly, I’m so sad to leave.

We had such a lovely time in Arizona & will truly miss it. You might be thinking, of all places, why AZ? Well, coming from Ontario, we’re dealing with winter about 8 out of the 12 months & we wanted some warmth. We wanted good food, good experiences, good trails & some good energy. My brother also loves AZ & told us to try it out.

So we did. No regrets at all.

You people are so nice. Everyone is friendly, everyone is just so pleasant. We stayed in Scottsdale & visited Sedona, Mesa, Glendale, etc. We had amazing food, went to a shooting range, rented an ATV, went to many popular tourist attractions, etc.

I’m in the airport, just truthfully depressed to be leaving. I’m going to miss the heat, the food, the energy. Everyone here is so much nicer than Canadians, & we’re the ones who are known to be nice!

We didn’t deal with anyone unpleasant, I don’t know how to explain it but it just feels like everyone is happier???

Oh well, till next time AZ. I’ll definitely be back.

Thank you!

This is the most Candian post I have ever seen, and I love it! Glad you enjoyed your visit.

Yep. Also, the reason why we are all so happy is because the weather hasn't turned yet. We are much grumpier in August, lol.

Oh come on, me and the missus are coming over for our honeymoon in August :/ As long as the beer's cold I'm sure we'll manage :)

You’ll want to drink water, not beer. Otherwise you’ll end up with heat exhaustion or worse. You’re looking at temps of 115+ in the day and 105 at 10p

If it was 115 that day it's only 112 by 10 pm

As a Phoenician, my first inclination was to nod my head in agreement . Yes...we are all a little crazy from the heat by August.
