  1. Now that I’m retired I’d been eyeing up Arizona for January 2022. I really can’t face the worst of another British winter even if I don’t have to get up at 6.30 in the morning to head out into the cold and dark.

    Good to read these hotel recommendations, I think that we’re going to have a great time cruising round the state.

  2. Never been to Arizona. It looks to be a really interesting design mix-up of Native American / Mexican / West Coast aspirational. Would love to get there.

  3. Like most keen travellers I’ve done the big West Coast tour – Grand Canyon and all the way to Vegas too. Looking back I wish we’d made more of Arizona. It looks to have a quite unique style. It’s probably time to go back and do it in style and taking our time with a more leisurely trip.
