Related or not, another person stated that family goes hand in hand with “complicated…

Paul and I spent Christmas in Arizona this year (2010). We left on December 25, after a family celebration on the 24th, and returned on January 1, 2011. It was really easy to come up with a ‘best of’ list about our trip, so that’s how I’ll share my experiences with you. Best Hotel Fiesta…
