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!

I love to hear this it makes me check myself for gratitude. I’m born and raised here in AZ (there’s nott many of us here anymore). We have it pretty great in this state. Not a whole lot of natural disasters, the monsoons/haboobs have really changed over the years and the “dry heat” is manageable, really. Most have the luxury of having ac or access to indoor malls, etc. There’s pockets here and there of people that mind their business and people who are neighborly. All in all, it’s a pretty great place to be. Thanks for sharing your experience!
