The early concensus has Arizona a winner. Still have a couple of minor details to work out. If they pan out, looks like Scottsdale for 2006. Another positive...direct flight....and it looks like we'd be there before noon (because of the two time zone difference) allowing us to play 18 on the day of arrival instead of the day of departure. I've got Tom checking with a friend of his (who lives in the area) on courses and references on the company I've been dealing with to this point.

Arthur, with all due respect, other than playing golf we never see you. What difference does it make where we go, one room is as good as another, especially if the price is competitive. Speaking of rooms, for slightly more money ($100) we can get 3 bedroom condos.

Also Art, I appreciate your concern about the stress that could make my hair fall out, but personally, I enjoy going to new locales and it seems most of those I've talked to so far feel the same. The golf courses look beautiful and the weather is consistent and the snakes are photogenic.

Variety is the spice of life!
