Arizona Dopers - Here comes the Bus Family again!

It is that time for the 3rd annual Bus Family trip to Arizona to [del]visit my mom[/del] watch spring baseball.

The schedule is more or less this:

AirportHotelBallgameGrandCanyonTucsonBaseballNoBaseballBaseballnobaseballBaseballFly home

Oh, you need details, right?

So we fly in late Thursday night, March 6th, and that Friday (the 7th) go to a cub game. Friday after the game, we’re driving up somewhere Flagstaff-ish (still undetermined where exactly we’re staying) to see the Giant Hole in the Ground. From what I’m gathering, that big glass bridge is on the west rim, a fairly decent ride from the south rim.

My first plea for advice: Friday evening, Saturday, and part of Sunday before we drive back to Tucson later Sunday night. Where’s the area I want to be looking to stay? I’m not immune to driving a couple hours or so each day, but I’d like to be fairly close by.

In Tucson - we have pretty much any evening except Friday night un-booked. It’s me, the Wife, and the Kid, who is of legal drinking age so we can do an alcohol based establishment. Which means calling all Tucson area Dopers - let’s figure out a night to eat drink and stuff.

Also, if by chance anyone’s going to the 3/7 cubby game, let’s meet, because god knows I can miss a cub game pretty much without pain.

OR, any actual baseball fans who might be at the Sox games in Tucson on 3/10, 3/12 or 3/14 - let me know that too.

There, the itinerary. Have at me.

So you’ll be in Tucson the 9th-ish through the . . . 14? ish? We should drink or something! Perhaps a couple of other locals will drop in to this thread (Alice the goon, lsura, I’m looking at you! :slight_smile: )

Depending on what days y’all are in town and available, then sure, if scheduling permits.

Now I’m going off to not check my work email until I head in the door tomorrow. Nope, not me. I will not do such a thing.

Any evening in Tucson from Monday thru Thursday, we are at your mercy. Do with us as you please…

Who knew there were so many Tucson dopers? I arrogantly thought any thread about Arizona must be about Phoenix! :smiley:

Bump.

I’ve been out of town, and just saw this thread. I’m unusually busy right now, but if someone can figure out something to do, where to do it at, and what date and time, I’ll be happy to pencil you guys in. This is the busiest time of the year in this town, so even if we can’t pull together a dopefest, I’m sure you and your family will have a great time!

Last bump

Alice - I think I still have your cell #. If you’ve changed it since '06, PM it to me. I have most nights from monday-friday next week free. The same place we met, or someplace downtown is ok.

Promise me sunshine - it’s going to snow here this week!!!

Yep, same phone number, just give me a call anytime. Well, not at like 2 am or anything- that would be creepy. :wink:

Monday night would be good for me (childless that night) or any other night I could conceivably host a little get-together at my house at Speedway and Country Club. And hopefully other dopers will join us, wherever we may meet.

And, oh yeah, it’s definitely not going to snow, but it sure is windy and cold out there… brrrr. But sunny.
