Polly: Thanks for your comment. Tucson really is beautiful. I am sure summers are a different experience. I hope you are able to visit again soon, if not move back there.

I lived in Tucson in the 70s. Moved there sight unseen! My heart must have known that it would hold me captive all of these years. Making plans to return sooner than later, permanently (summers and all). Just spent time in Mesa this month....very nice, but not Tucson. It just has that magic - that ring of mountains that you see every day of your life - and those awesome coyotes.... xoxo

I enjoy the effort you put into your vacations and trip journals. With all the empty trip plans and commercials for companies on Yahoo Travel its nice to get some real ideas from someone who has been there.

Ava Boyer: Thanks for your comment! As long as you avoid the extreme heat in the middle of the summer (June, July, August), you should be okay. We were there in January, but that probably wouldn't work for you, since you are starting in Oregon. I'm not sure, but I guess late March or October would be the best for you.

Your trip to Puerto Rico looks great. I have often thought about vacationing there. Maybe I'll try to go in 2009.
