A nice, short beginner level upward hike on the red rocks with beautiful sunset views. Pair it with a visit to the nearby Phoenix Zoo and make a day of it.

At some point in a long evening in a t-shirt country, when nature inevitably calls to a man, the line for the restroom may look daunting, or at least a needless hindrance when there is a perfectly fine wall in the alley. This quote may work well either to confuse an establishment employee who catches you in the act, or to proudly announce said act to your equally drunken friends upon your grand re-entrance.
They don’t care what you think because they are busy taking part in their own TV shows and movies. While you watch them and then go to your computer and write blogs saying “oh my god did you see what Paris did on The Simple Life tonight, she is so stupid I hate her”. Then why did you watch the show?
Bonus: the crowd is filled with hotties. My partner in crime and I make the rounds until we spot the cutest guys in the room and decide to make our move. Turns out their looks were all they had going for them. (Recommendation for timid guys: read The Game, by Neil Strauss.) So instead of sticking around for the after-party we decide to head up the street to try to get in to the Miramax Party.
When your friend is the one who ought to ease up a bit, and starts firing off one-liners at your expense, getting mad helps no one.

Watching drunk people think aloud can be almost as much fun as watching them walk.
If you are just considering starting up a relationship from a distance, then you should seriously consider long distance dating advice before you make this commitment.
A hidden gem just northwest of Phoenix, off of the Carefree Highway, State Route 74. A resort hideaway for the rich and famous since 1896, it burned down in 1976, but the springs and some of the buildings remain. In it’s heyday, guests included JFK, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. Google it if you’re up for an adventure.
