<p>Sedona is wonderful! Not really inexpensive but also really like Palm Desert…warm weather, great biking, hiking, shopping, golfing and tennis.
Our favorite spring vacation spot is Playa del Carmen…also not inexpensive.</p>
<p>Another vote for Arizona. Sights of saguaro cactus decorated with Christmas lights - priceless! Also, hiking in the desert is much more pleasant when the temperature is in the lower seventies, and scorpions and snakes are hibernating (Picacho Peak (sp?) park was our favorite hiking spot). For a drastic scenery change we drove to see the Grand Canyon (can be done as a day trip from Tempe where we stayed).</p>
<p>Arizona. You can’t go wrong. There is something healing and wonderful about the desert. But bring jackets because desert nights are colder than many expect.</p>
