Also my mother in law is there and she’s … a trip.

Honestly, Phoenix is kind of the worst.


LOL and NOVA is not? But yeah, I don't see why people come to Arizona and stay in the Phoenix area. There is so much other amazing stuff to see and do in this state.


Chandler is significantly worse than NoVA. Not least because NoVA is blue and Chandler is full of gun-toting crazies and is far from anything interesting.

I'm a pp who went for only a long weekend. I agree Phoenix isn't THE destination but there are so many amazing hikes within an hour or less of the city, lodging downtown is cheap, and the airport is right there, so it made a lot of sense for us.
