Greetings from Tuscon Arizona, I am here with my brother while he is at a conference for work. It has been about a year and a half. So needless to say it is really great to be able to spend some time with him. Here is where the Conference is being held at.

I guess I should start on my first day, the day I was traveling to get here. It all started Sunday afternoon. I must say that I hate UNITED AIRLINES. My flight from Fresno To LAX was delayed. Why I dont really know. Wait yes I do because its United. Once in LA I had a 2 hour lay over where I waited patiently for my flight to come and whisk me away to Arizona. 20 minutes before we are supposed to leave they let us know that our plane wont be here for another 1 1/2 hours. And now I wont be able to get in until about 12:30 AM at Tuscon. I thought no big deal if I call enterprise I will be able to just have them stay a little bit longer. But no that does not happen they close at 12 sharp no exceptions. What a drag. I did everything possible. I even got me on a plane that left a little bit before. That plane did not leave on time. I was 5 mins late 12:05 they were already shutdown for the day. I HATE UNNITED AIRLINES. I HOPE SOUTHWEST TAKES THEM ALL OUT. I had to take a taxi to the hotel, and back the next day for a grand total of $54. Also not getting to my hotel until about 1:30 AM when I was supposed to be inside asleep by midnight.
Monday was much better day for me. I woke up at about nine O'Clock. A miricle latley for me (I usually get up by about 6:30 or 7 AM).
Anyways it was a non eventful morning for sure. Basically just did work stuff in the morning and then went out to get my rental car. It was a nice upgrade from an economy car (they had none available) I got a ford fusion for the price of a economy.
My bro making a call in the car before dinner!After getting my car I stopped by Quizznos for Lunch and got Some sandwhiches for my bro and I. The rest of the afternoon I walked around for a bit, and then I did some more Business work. At about 5 PM my bro and I decided just to chill out tonight and so we went into the Lazy river. This hotel is grea for that river alone. Just float around. It was great.

Before dinner we wanted to just relax for a few so here is Steve Checking E-mail
We went to a pretty good mexican restaurant. I mean you cant come out to Tuscon without getting some good mexican food. After dinner we went grocery shopping. Who needs to pay 15$ for breakfast per person per day when you can have what you need for 11$ for the rest of the trip. Oh and only grocery store Ive ever been to where I didnt understand the cashier and mexican music was playing in the background.
After we got back to the Hotel we decided to stay out of our room and enjoy the night life of the hotel. So here are a few pictures of what we experienced, It was a gorgous night.
Day one complete, and now time for bed.
Day two has begun, not only that but it has been fun thus far. The time is now 3:45 PM. I have just got done with my walk, relaxing on the patio, worked out, did my photo shooting for the blog and memorys. In about an hour I will go swimming with my bro. So here are a few a few of the photos of the Marriot Resort Starr Pass Resort
From the Street as you drive up you can see it come forth as you approach, and then you see the entrance sign.
This morning I was able to capture a photo of the Lazy river during the day

This evening my brother and I really wanted to go to a local steak house. Rated #1 in Tucson. We were excited, we planned before hand to stop by and visit somone that he used to go to school with while going to Purdue University. They were from Russia. Still have thick accent and all. It was pretty cool. We had no Idea that they were going to feed us though. We had some meat, really good, mashed potatoes just normal. Collaflower that was to die for. I hate colliflower but I loved this stuff, not sure what they did but they did it right. So no steak tonight. After we left there house we decided that we needed to stop by the grocery store and pick up some more stuff to munch on. I will tell you what, we decided to be cool like everyone else tonight on the patio and we got Jones soda in the bottle. Cream soda was the soda of choice tonight. We got a four pack so one tonight and one tomorrow night. It was a great night. Perfect weather to just sit out and enjoy the music and the lights of tucson. The stars were kinda out which was also nice. Just me and my bro chillin.
This hotel is very relaxing to me, most hotels are okay this is very relaxing though, i love it here.
End of day 2
