I've always felt that the best time to travel is during the "shoulder" season, or just before or just after the peak season. Fewer tourists to distract from the surroundings you came to see, and the generally lower prices of airfare and hotel are the allure of this mindset - not to mention, the extremes of weather seen in the summertime or wintertime are not as big of issues as during those seasons.
In part, it is with the above in mind that my love and I took a trip in mid-February to Sedona, Arizona. Unlike my previous adventures, in which I flew solo and had no family or other familiars in my destinations, this one was taken with my new partner in life. She has family in the Phoenix area, so we were able to combine lodging arrangements between her family's abode and the resort about ten miles north. The weather during our trip was somewhat chilly - not what one would expect when told about a vacation trip to Arizona - but clear (for the most part).
As I'm writing this over a week after the events, I'm going to stick with highlights and impressions for this series and spare you the blow-by-blow accounts. I'll also provide some pictures and reviews for your perusal and amusement.
Stay tuned.
