We just got back from luxury at the La Paloma Resort in Tucson, Arizona. It's set up against the Catalina Mountains and looks over the city, and is surrounded by a beautiful golf course set in natural desert habitat. It was definitely a place we wouldn't go on our own (SUPER expensive), but we *had* to because that's where the convention was and our way was mostly paid...darnit.
Conrad had quite a few meetings (we went for the American Sugarbeet Growers' Association annual conference), but we also had lots of time to relax. The 50* weather swing was much appreciated. Luckily, it warmed up more and more as our time went on in Arizona. A few days before we got there, they set records for coldest temperatures...the cacti weren't thrilled, in fact some were limp noodles:(
We stayed at a 5-star resort, which was very nice. There was a super nice golf course, and Conrad made the most of it, playing 3 games of golf during the 4 full days we were there. One day, there was a Scramble for the conference attendees, and Conrad played on a team with his sister, dad, and a sweet lady we know from home. They did well, getting 3rd or 4th. Not too shabby on a difficult course and competing against a lot of teams! We enjoyed lots of great food, as well as laying out by the pool, and soaking in one of the three hottubs every night. We kind of got used to the luxury!!
