I live in Arizona, so maybe I can help. If you’re into the outdoors, then you will have plenty to do, especially with the weather. There’s plenty of hiking, golfing, etc. The Phoenix Wildlife Zoo is pretty neat if you want to see animals. There’s hayrides in the foothills on December 12th and 19th, I believe. This site has some of the winter stuff to do: [url=http://www.folaz.org/]folaz.org[/url]. If you go to Tempe, check out Mill Ave. There’s some neat little stores and restaurants down there. There’s a lot of homeless people, though, I don’t know if that will bother you. Some people can’t stand it because of that.

Sorry if that wasn’t much help, to be honest, I have the hardest time finding stuff to do here. Tourists usually seem to love it, though, so I hope you have a great time :)

Oh, Tucson can be pretty cool for tourists, too. If you go to Old Tucson there’s plenty of Western-y stuff to see and do if you’re into that. I think there were a lot of classic Western movies filmed there.

Oh, and try to avoid Van Buren street and south Phoenix at night. If you can, I would recommend getting a hotel in Chandler, possibly by the Chandler Fashion shopping mall. There’s plenty of restaurants around there, movies theaters, etc. It’s overall a very nice place. The San Tan village shopping center in Gilbert is nice too, especially this time of year since it’s outside. I volunteer over there for the Salvation Army, and I don’t mind having to drive 45 there from Casa Grande.
